EUR 40,- *EUR 65,- ** The above fees are for ISSM membership including online only access to the ISSM journals. If
a member wants to receive the printed journals an additional fee of EUR 25 applies.
** As the ISSM already has a heavily subsidized fee for members from category C countries (lowincome countries), the overall consensus was to not further decrease the EUR 40 fee.

Please find attached the updated World Bank Country Classification that will be used
to verify the appropriate fees per member. We recommend that you implement thesefees as the minimum fees for your joint APSSM/ISSM membership structure, but ofcourse as an independent society you are free to apply any fee structure that you
prefer and/or find most appropriate for your region/situation.

Important: please make sure that, on the bulk APSSM/ISSM Membership lists
that you provide us, it is clearly indicated whether members opt for printed
copies or not. Please use the attached excel template as a model (see columnV).
