What are the rules regarding attendance and representation at the general meeting?

Full GEMA members may attend the General Meeting in person or online. Prior online registration is required for both options. Registration is carried out via our General Assembly page.

Full GEMA members may also be represented by another member of their professional group or by a representative who is not a GEMA member. Publisher members must appoint a publisher’s representative. The power of attorney may be granted in any form; written documentation serves to confirm the representation. In accordance with the GEMA Articles of Association, full members are author and publisher members entitled to vote who may exercise their membership rights in full.

Delegates of associate GEMA members: Delegates generally have the same rights as full members at the General Meeting, but they may not be represented by another person (no right of representation).
