IFOAM member organizations, which are predominantly organic, have voting rights at the GA. IFOAM associates and supporters are invited to participate and can also speak in the GA plenary. However, associates and supporters do not have voting rights at the GA. While the topics discussed are related to internal IFOAM’s matters, like goals and objectives, organizational structure and role in the world, the event is open for observers.
