- The document grants significant control and decision-making power to the committee, which may lead to a concentration of power and potentially limit wider member participation in key decisions.
- The document specifies that only individuals can be members, excluding entities or organizations, which might limit the diversity and resources that could be brought into the association by various types of members.
- Members are required to pay entrance and annual subscription fees, which, if not paid timely, result in cessation of membership, potentially affecting long-term membership retention and financial planning.
