+===== FAQs =====
+==== What is the General Assembly? ====
+The General Assembly is a meeting of the members of IFLRY. We usually hold this twice a year and it forms the highest decision making body of the federation. It is an opportunity to meet and connect with other young liberal activists from around the world and to represent the views of your organisation in shaping the future of IFLRY. If you have any general questions about the GA, please contact [[mailto:office@iflry.org| office@iflry.org]], we are more than happy to answer them.
+==== How do I submit a Resolution? ====

+==== How do I apply for Membership? ====
+You should contact the bureau by emailing who will help with the membership application process [[mailto:bureau@iflry.org| bureau@iflry.org]]. It is advisable to do this before the official deadline so that the bureau can arrange a meeting and help with the application process.
+==== How do I apply for Individual Membership? ====
+Individual Membership is handled by the individual members vetting committee. Please email the committee with a CV and cover letter or letter of recommendation [[mailto:imvc@iflry.org| imvc@iflry.org]]. They can arrange an online interview and will then decide on your application.

+==== How do I know how if my organisation is in good financial standing? ====

+==== Can IFLRY help me apply for a visa? ====
+We can provide you with an invite letter on request. Please email the office, [[mailto:office@iflry.org|office@iflry.org]], for more details or any particular questions about visas.
+==== Is it possible to attend virtually? ====
+Yes. We will be livestreaming the event on zoom. You will be able to fully participate from anywhere in the world, including exercising voting rights and joining debates.
+==== How can I register to attend? ====
+Registration will open shortly. More details will be provided soon. If you are responsible for selecting delegates to attend the event on behalf of your organisation, we advise that you already start planning this.
+==== What is included in the registration fee? ====
+Participants will be provided with hotel accommodation for 3 nights, covering the duration of the event (1st-4th May). The event will start in the afternoon of the first day and will finish by the afternoon of the final day, so that delegates can use these days for travelling to and from Bosnia. If you wish to extend your stay, you will be responsible for any extra nights of the accommodation required.
+The registration fee will also include meals and refreshments during the event. We are happy to cater to all dietary requirements if we are informed in advance.
+By default, there will be two people per room, however we can upgrade you to a private room for an additional fee if you wish.
+==== How do I submit a nomination to run in the Bureau? ====
+You must be nominated by a full member organisation in order to run in the elections. You should submit your application by email to the office [[mailto:office@iflry.org| office@iflry.org]], stating clearly the position you wish to nominate yourself for and the organisation nominating you. You should include a letter of recommendation from your nominating organisation and a CV. You may include any other documents you wish to be published as you see fit.
+**Important Note for Candidates:** We will be having a Bureau meeting after the GA. If you are running in the Bureau elections, you must book travel arrangements that will allow you to attend this meeting, so we advise you to book return travel no earlier than 6th May. Extra accommodation will only be provided for successfully elected candidates, and so we advise that you make contingency arrangements for accommodation after the GA in case you are not elected.
