There are two kinds of members – Full members and Individual members. If in any country, there is no national federation in place to meet the demands of Full membership an individual can be appointed Individual Member of the WMMAF. This individual will thereby temporarily represent the country, with the assignment to establish a national federation or non-profit federation.
