They shall normally be only one collective member from a country. If, in any country, two or more eligible groups are candidates for collective membership the executive committee may, as its discretion, seek the establishment of a joint committee to which collective membership may be granted, or it may admit one or more of the groups collective members.

Regional associations will normally be admitted to collective membership only in cases where there are no national associations within the region that are collective members of IPSA, but the executive committee may make exceptions to this.
