Application for Commission Membership
The FIVA has a number of commissions and each commission is headed by a General Committee member.
If you have specific knowledge that could help a commission to reach its goals and objectives, you can apply for membership. The chairperson of the commission will select candidates for the commission based on knowledge, drive, availability, team mix, etc.
So, an application does not automatically mean you will become part of that commission, your motivation on the application form is therefore important. But even if not a permanent member of a commission, the chairperson might still call upon you for a special, time-limited, task, based on your specific knowledge or experience.
You are encouraged to check the Governance Handbook and other applicable chapters in the Statutes and Internal Rules before you apply.

Application for Arbitration Panel Membership
Although we are generally united in our objectives with FIVA, different views can lead to different opinions. Therefore, FIVA has established the Arbitration Panel. This panel of ‘wise persons’ can mediate if a member and FIVA, or members between them, have a difference of opinion. The arbitration panel can be called upon to mediate in such matters, as described in the Statutes and/or Internal Rules.
If you have specific knowledge that would be beneficial for the Arbitration Panel, you can apply for membership, you are encouraged to check the Governance Handbook and other applicable chapters in the Statutes and Internal Rules before you apply.
