The General Meeting is the Association's sovereign deliberation and decision-making body. It will consist of all of the member companies, each of which will have one vote, provided that it has paid the membership dues assigned to it each year based on the basic criteria approved by the General Meeting at the proposal of the Governing Board, in accordance with the procedure envisaged by law.

The Annual General Meeting will be convened once a year. Special meetings will be held whenever called by the Governing Board or the Chair of the Association, or when requested by at least one third of its memberss.

It must be called at least 15 days in advance, except in cases of urgency as decided by the Governing Board.

Meetings may be held over any electronic medium that ensures that the members can participate and that they can vote on the motions (email, teleconference, etc.).

The Association will provide the most adequate technical media if remote participation at General Meetings is allowed. The ways for attending the General Meeting will be stated in the meeting notices, along with the way to cast votes electronically, if applicable.

Both annual and special General Meetings will be quorate as a matter of law on first call if half plus one of the members are present and represented, and on second call once half an hour has passed since the first call, regardless of the number of attendees.

However, if the General Meeting is called to vote on resolutions that would approve or amend the Articles of Association, wind up the Association, transfer or dispose of its fixed assets, or determine the remuneration of its Board members, it will be duly quorate when two thirds of the members are present or represented on first call, or half the members plus one on second call.

In all cases, resolutions must be passed by a majority of the votes of the members present and represented at the Meeting, tallied in accordance with Article 13 of these Articles of Association. Blank votes and abstentions will not be tallied.

Proxies may be granted to other members or to the Chair.

All of the resolutions will be recorded in the meeting minutes kept by the secretary, which must be signed off by the Chair of the Association.

The Chair of the General Meeting will be the Chair of the Governing Board, who will certify the resolutions that were validly adopted and signed off by the Chair.

The duly convened and quorate General Meeting will have the broadest powers to deliberate and resolve on any matters related to the Association's purposes.
