In Malaysia we still refer to organisations such as the Free MED
Foundation as Civil Society by nature of its not-for-profit status.
Article 5.4.2.1 provides for registration of non-profits under "..... or
its equivalent" which refers to Incorporation limited by guarantee and
which has a not-for-profit status. Since OSHCA will be registered in
Malaysia, we can accept FreeMED Foundation as a not-for-profit associate
member.
The protem committee had not worked out the rules and regulations
pertaining to "show of proof" of non-profit status.
You can change and re-submit as long as its within the inaugural meeting
time as designated.
I'm copying this e-mail to the openhealth list (changing the subject) in
case there are similar organisations like yours apply.
