Carrying on standard practice as established during previous years, notably:
1. CID has two Secretariats: the General Secretariat remaining permanently in Paris within UNESCO, while the Executive Secretariat (otherwise called President’s Office) follows the incumbent President and operates in his/her country. Both Secretariats are managed by the CID President within provisions of the statutes and decisions of the General Assembly.
2. The General Secretariat handles general matters such as: cooperation with UNESCO, with Permanent Delegations and National Commissions for UNESCO, governmental agencies, Non-Governmental Organizations.
3. The Executive Secretariat handles day-to-day management matters such as: prospective and current Members, CID Sections, CID websites, accounting, personnel (senior staff, employees, trainees, volunteers), financial or legal matters.
4. The CID President can delegate parts of the work of the Secretariats to a CID Section.
5. When CID Members are commissioned by the CID President to represent CID in his place their flight, hotel and other expenses can be covered. This includes the CID President’s expenses. These expenses are refunded by the CID Teasurer after submitting receipts countersigned by the President.
6. National Committees have been replaced by CID Sections. Each CID Section corresponds to a municipality.
7. International Certification of Dance Studies is issued when a school, its director and the student are members of the CID.
8. Youth Members are persons aged 7 to 17 nominated by their school director who is a member of the CID. They pay a yearly membership fee of 45 US dollars. They take part in the General Assembly without voting rights.
9. Membership fees for residents of the Eurozone should increase progressively in order to reach those outside the Eurozone. The rate of exchange euro/dollar should be taken into account.
