Membership in the ICA is by invitation. There
are no direct members of ICA. Membership in ICA is only available through associations recognized and charted by ICA or administrative
ICA regions.
Membership qualifications shall be established by the various chartered associations.
In general, ICA recognizes three categories of membership:
General members consist of past commodores of recognized yacht clubs and past commanding
officers of recognized yachting associations.
Associate
members consist of current flag officers of recognized yacht clubs and current officers of recognized yachting associations,
and spouses and life partners of general members.
Honorary members consist of persons of good moral character and social acceptability who have promoted the
customs and courtesies of yachting and share a common love and appreciation of yachting and maritime activities of every kind.
All applications for
a charter shall be submitted to the Board of Governors of the ICA for approval. The Board may, in its discretion and by no
less than a two-thirds affirmative vote, issue a charter to any yachting association it deems qualified to further the purposes
of the ICA. In determining whether an association is qualified for membership in the ICA, the Executive Committee shall consider
the financial standing of the Applying association, whether the applying association has adopted bylaws, rules and regulations
that are consistent with the overall objectives of the ICA, whether the applying association has an established address, and
whether the applying association has a stable membership base.

The
ICA may establish administrative regions in areas where there is no currently-chartered ICA regional association. Such administrative
regions shall be established on a temporary basis to extend the benefits of ICA membership to qualified candidates in those
regions. Members in such regions shall pay regional association and international dues, may hold a regional office, and shall
have voting privileges. The ICA shall assist such members to
develop chartered associations with their own policies and procedures.
