A. Explanation of Dues

Dues are scaled based on approximate ability to pay as set forth in the table in section D below. The form of the organization and the gross national income per capita for the nation, determine the amount of annual dues any specific organization will need to pay. See C below to determine which nations fall within which income categories.

Note that small businesses of 15 or fewer employees receive a dues reduction.

B. Dues Form for Associate Members

C. Categorization of Nations relative to the GSDI Dues Tables

Dues are scaled based on approximate ability to pay as defined by the gross national income per capita for the nation of primary residence. The following categorizations for purposes of interpreting the Dues Tables were drawn from http://www.worldbank.org/data/databytopic/GNPPC.pdf 

The Atlas methodology provides comparative data for most countries. Gross national income per capita ranges are defined as follows:

1. High National Income Per Capita (High Income - $9,266 or more)

2. Medium National Income Per Capita (Upper Middle Income - $2,996 to $9,265)

3. Low National Income Per Capita (Lower Middle Income - $756 to $2,995)

4. Very Low National Income Per Capita (Low Income - $755 or less)
