9.020.4. Clubs in Restricted Currency Countries
Clubs located in restricted currency countries which, despite their best efforts are unable
to transmit payments due to RI, will not automatically be terminated. Such clubs are
required to establish, to the satisfaction of the Board, that they have provided for an
adequate financial reserve, holding the amounts due to RI with the understanding that
such funds will be released to RI upon demand within the country in which the club is
located, or transmitted to RI's bank account at the earliest possible date. (June 1998 Mtg.,

which in the general secretary's judgment are warranted, based on special or unique
circumstances. (June 1998 Mtg., Bd. Dec. 348)

9.020.7. Reinstatement of Clubs Terminated Due to Non-Payment of Financial
Obligations
A terminated club may only seek to be reinstated up to one year (365 days) after its
termination. When a club seeks to be reinstated within 90 days of termination, it must
pay the full amount of its outstanding financial obligations at the time of termination, all
semiannual dues payments that have continued to accrue during the period between
termination and reinstatement, and a US$10.00 per member reinstatement fee. When a
club seeks to be reinstated more than 90 days but less than 365 days after termination, it
must fulfill all the requirements of a club seeking to be reinstated within 90 days of
termination and, in addition, it must complete an application for reinstatement and pay a
US$15.00 per member application fee. A club seeking to be reinstated may only revise
its membership list within one year (365 days) of the semiannual period due date. If only
partial payment is made by the 365 th day following termination, that amount will be
applied to the terminated club’s delinquent financial obligation. Terminated clubs that
have not fulfilled their entire financial responsibility, which includes the full amount of
their outstanding financial obligations at the time of termination, all semiannual dues
payments that have continued to accrue during the period between termination and
reinstatement, the application fee, and the reinstatement fee, within 365 days of
termination, shall lose their original charter and are not eligible for reinstatement.
Reinstated clubs shall maintain their name, history, and charter, and are considered
members in financial good standing eligible to receive the full services of the association.
