To which entity are membership issues appealed?

Membership issues are typically appealed to the Board of Control. This entity usually oversees governance and disciplinary matters within organizations, including membership disputes. The Board of Control is tasked with ensuring that decisions regarding membership align with the organization's bylaws and ethical standards. When members have grievances or disputes related to membership—such as denials, suspensions, or expulsion—they appeal to this board for a review of the circumstances and the decisions made at lower levels of authority.

In this context, while the other bodies listed may have roles in the overarching governance or specific aspects of membership, they typically do not serve as the final adjudicatory body for membership appeals. The Board of Directors may focus on strategic governance, the Ethics Committee deals with ethical violations or disputes, and the Membership Committee often handles initial application processes and member services rather than appeals. Thus, the Board of Control is the correct choice for handling appeals related to membership issues.
