Transparency
Every power exercised by the Federation derives from the Articles of Association signed on 7 November 2025. This page translates the formal document into operational commitments.
The General Assembly is the supreme body. Each member has one vote. Ordinary assemblies are annual; extraordinary assemblies can be called by 1/5 of members at any time.
The Management Board prepares and executes assemblies, adopts regulations, and manages admissions — but binds the Association only by joint signature of two.
External audit is mandatory if 2 of 3 thresholds are exceeded in two successive years: CHF 10M total assets, CHF 20M turnover, 50 FTE avg. No discretionary opt-out.
Financial policy
Sources of funds
Use of funds
The Association does not strive for profit. Members and Board members bear no personal liability for the Association's obligations (Art. 25).
Individual votes are private by design. Only aggregate results are public. No political-participation surveillance.
"All Members shall be on equal footing." No weighted voting, no tiered classes. Admission criteria: trustworthiness and good repute.
Assembly agendas are announced at least 20 days in advance via electronic publication. Any member may submit items up to four weeks before the meeting.
Reporting
The Management Board reports annually to the General Assembly on transparency and diversity matters. Financial statements are presented for approval at each ordinary assembly. When the scale thresholds are crossed, the auditors' report is published alongside the financials.
