This is to be accomplished by scientific meetings of the society, formation of commissions, meetings of the working groups, and by scientific publications."
- §4 (1): "Any academic graduate, or member of the technical support staff, dealing scientifically with genetic markers, can apply for full membership."
- §4 (5, new section): "The membership is considered terminated, if the annual membership fee according to § 9 has not been paid for a period of at least two years."
