Candidates for membership complete a membership application form, the contents of which are certified as being correct by an officer of the institute. The institute may retrieve a copy of the form from the Library at this web site. (Access the Library from the Best Practices section.)

ICMCI's Membership Committee will evaluate the content of the completed application form and its accompanying documentation. Subject to further favorable reviews by the Executive Committee, the institute will be invited to join the Council.

• subscribes to the minimum Code of Professional Conduct of ICMCI and has installed this Code pending development of its own Code
• intends to develop a formal certification/registration process
• has a governing Council or Committee prepared and empowered to affirm on behalf of its members support for the aims and objectives of ICMCI and to accept in principle such international standards (definitions, codes, guidelines, etc.) as may be agreed upon from time to time by the International Council
• pays the $500 application fee upon submission of application and pro-rated dues from the time of acceptance as a Provisional Member (see published dues structure).

Provisional Members are also subject to the following restrictions:

• A Provisional Member is a non-voting member.
• By its first anniversary as a Provisional Member, the organization must have its own Code of Professional Conduct consistent with ICMCI standards.
• By its second anniversary as a Provisional Member, the organization must have a formal certification/registration process consistent with ICMCI standards.
• A Provisional Member may retain its provisional status for not more than two years at which time it must qualify for regular membership or be dropped altogether from the ICMCI rolls; except that a Provisional Member which has not been in legal existence for four years at the end of two years may retain its status until it has been in existence for four years.
• Acceptance of Provisional Member status is subject to the above conditions, and may be validated by the Chairman of ICMCI and one member of the Membership Committee.
