Anyone wishing to become a member of GRIISIQ must first inform the Group of her interest by contacting the Coordinator of communications and administration, who will then provide the potential applicant with information about GRIISIQ and its mission, objectives, activities, current members and eligibility criteria.

The application is sent to GRIISIQ's co-directors, who make the final decision. The Coordinator contacts the candidate to inform her/him of that decision. The new member is then added to the list of active members, and the relevant data put on file.
