Q: Is there a system to suspend membership?

A:
We have decided to introduce a self-suspension system starting in FY2023.
Only members who have no unpaid membership fees will be eligible to take advantage of this system.
It is possible to take a leave of absence for up to four consecutive years.
The following membership services will be suspended during the self-suspension period
- Mailing of the “Journal of International Development Studies”
- Distribution of ML
- Conference application and presentation
- Right to vote in the election of candidates for the Board of Directors
- Voting rights for the election of candidates for the Board of Directors
Application procedures and details will be announced on the mailing list.
