The Intergovernmental Sessions of IOCARIBE
The Sub-Commission should meet once during each budgetary biennium
unless otherwise approved by a governing body of IOC. These are inter-governmental
meetings or Sessions, attended by official delegates of Member States (Category II -
Intergovernmental meetings other than international conferences of States, at which the
chief participants represent their Governments). The Sub-Commission should preferably meet
immediately before the IOC Assembly in order to report on its progress and to obtain
feedback and endorsement especially for actions requiring budget allocations.

Membership and participation.
¯
Twenty three (23) of the twenty nine (29) independent States in the
IOCARIBE Region are Members of IOC and IOCARIBE. Membership of an independent State
implies membership of its dependant territories. Membership in IOCARIBE is open to all
interested IOC Member States willing to participate actively in the work of the regional
Sub-Commission.
However, membership in the regional Sub-Commission is not automatically
assumed. States shall acquire membership by notifying their intention to the Secretariat
of IOC and IOCARIBE. This declaration should be made by a high governmental level i.e.:
Foreign Affairs Minister or equivalent. It should be confirmed in practice by the
appointment of a specific National Focal Point.
Membership does not represent any mandatory financial burden for the
State, only the commitment to participate in IOCARIBE activities. After becoming a Member,
the State is expected to participate in the regular inter-governmental Sessions of the
Sub-Commission and in the Regional Projects through its national institutions and experts.
