1. The Annual General Assembly (AGA)
   
   The governing body is the Annual General Assembly, which is composed of delegations from the member governments (qualifying members). These delegations are usually representative not only of the governments themselves, but also of individual and corporate members of the national sections which most countries have established.
   
   The AGA operates through a Council and an Executive Committee (ExCom), which in turn, supervise the various Commissions. All qualifying members are entitled to have representatives in all commissions and working groups. The AGA usually meets in the month of May in one of the qualifying members nations.
