NISO Voting Membership Application

Application Form

Thank you for your interest in joining NISO as a Voting Member — please see our website for a full list of benefits, as well as information about our tiered membership rates.

Please use this form to provide us with the information we need to process your application and, if you have any questions or concerns, please contact nisohq@niso.org.

As the NISO membership year runs from January through December, each year you will receive a bill in October with payment due on or before the following January 1. New memberships that begin after July 31 will be pro-rated for the remainder of that calendar year plus the whole of the following year.

Voting Members are eligible to participate in all NISO leadership and procedural votes, including ballots for proposed new projects, standards voting pool ballots, and approval of final standards for which a member has joined the voting pool.

Voting Members based in the United States also participate as members of the U.S. Technical Advisory Group to the ISO Technical Committee on Information and Documentation (ISO TC46) — NISO’s counterpart at the international level — and its four subcommittees, including voting and commenting on draft international standards from these committees — as well as ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 34 Document description and processing languages.
