"Ordinary members of IFSA can be students’ organisations that are open to all students of the university/ies (and/or similar institutions of internationally recognised university level) they are affiliated to and which have natural persons as members. Council should use their discretion to determine whether the structure of further education, the scientific or technical qualification offered and the connection to forestry is relevant to the goals and purpose of IFSA."
