2. Whose core function/business is the provision of mediation, conciliation and/or arbitration services (the organisation should be a full-fledged mediation and/or arbitration centre); and
3. Which agrees to be bound and to abide by APCAM Charter; and which is able and willing to carry out the obligations of APCAM membership.

All Members shall pay a one-time membership fee of € 850.00 (Eight hundred and fifty Euros only), or such fee that the General Meeting decides from time to time.
