    Registering a new NCSC with FICS

    FICS has a Membership Commission whose primary role is to support NCSC and facilitate their growth in membership. The Membership Commission will assist you in starting up and subsequent ongoing support of your council.  

    The NCSC is required to develop articles and bylaws. FICS has templates in place to assist you in this development if requested. These organisational documents are designed to be simple and clear while being adequate to provide a basic structure for the new NCSC.  The templates are purposely drafted to allow maximum flexibility for the NCSC to create an environment specific to the needs of the council while still maintaining a suitable governance structure. Those forming a new council may want to take legal advice about any requirements for a properly established legal association in the country – e.g. minimum requirements, the minimum number of members, etc.

    To register an NCSC within your country, reach out to our Membership Commission via admin@ficsport.org. We look forward to assisting and guiding you through the process. 

    Refer to article 4.1 of the FICS Statutes for more information about registering a new NCSC.
