Chapter VII Meetings
Article 35
The General Members (Representatives) Meetings of a fishermen association, which include regular meeting and extraordinary meeting, shall be convened by the chair of the board of directors.
Regular meetings of fishermen associations at any level shall be held once per year. An extraordinary meeting shall be convened at the request made by one-third or more of members (representatives), or when considered necessary by the board of directors.
In case that the chair of the board of directors fails to convene an extraordinary meeting within ten days following the request as referred to in the preceding paragraph, the original proponent may apply to the competent authority for an order to convene the meeting.
A regional fishermen association, in consideration of difficulty in convening a general members meeting due to the huge number of members, may divide electorates where members elect representatives to convene a representative meeting to exercise the power of the general members meeting.
Article 36
