Accordingly, IBIA is helping to establish the agenda for the development and management of biometric standards, but does not conduct standard-setting activities on its own. IBIA reports to the IBIA membership and the public by means of the popular twice-monthly online newsletter, Biometrics Advocacy Report . Through testimony and direct advocacy, IBIA supports friendly legislation and regulations and opposes hostile legislation and regulations. IBIA forms coalitions with like-minded associations that share common interests in order to increase the effectiveness of advocacy. In accord with the following dues schedule, membership in IBIA is open to companies worldwide that subscribe to the IBIA statement of principles and code of ethics set forth in this prospectus.
Dues are payable quarterly, in advance, in four equal installments.
