GUIDELINES FOR THE FORMATION OF  IHSI OVERSEAS CHAPTERS

Any group wishing to become an Overseas Chapter must apply in writing to the IHSI.

The applicant group must pledge agreement and acceptance of the following eligibility criteria as laid down by the IHSI.

In the case of any disagreement about the criteria for eligibility, the decision of the IHSI Executive committee shall be final.

Eligibility Criteria for formation of Overseas Chapters:

  • The title of the Overseas Chapter must be agreed by the IHSI.
  • Overseas Chapters must recognise the IHSI Committee as the focal point for discussion and dialogue on matters outside the normal IHSI secretarial duties.
  • Overseas Chapters must abide by the rules in the Constitution and Byelaws of the IHSI (Articles, Rules and Regulations).
  • Overseas Chapters must agree not to take or endorse any action which will or may bring the IHSI into disrepute nor publicly make, or infer by association, any claims about the breed which are unsupported by the IHSI.
  • The Aims and Objectives of the Overseas Chapters must coincide with those of the IHSI, particularly with regard to education and promotion.  To this end chapters must strive to promote knowledge of the breed type and may raise funds for breed promotion, organise social gatherings and events with a view to promoting the Indigenous Horses of India.
  • The Overseas Chapter’s rules and byelaws must be presented to the IHSI for approval. The IHSI must be notified of any alterations or amendments immediately. In the case of any disagreement about the rules and byelaws, the decision of the IHSI shall be final.
  • Overseas Chapters are invited to submit a short annual report of their activities to the IHSI (This might include the following for example: details of promotion, education, fundraising and social events and so forth).
  • Overseas Chapters must keep adequate accounts and send a statement annually to the IHSI.
  • Overseas Chapters must operate a policy that is inclusive and be anti-discriminatory in all their workings.
  • Overseas Chapters must sign a clause agreeing to the withdrawal of recognition and privileges by the IHSI if any of the criteria are breached or not implemented within 28 days of notification of the breach  by the IHSI.

Note:  Overseas Chapters must arrange their own insurance cover (where necessary) for all events held.  The IHSI will not be held to be liable.

The status of each Overseas Chapter will be reviewed annually by the IHSI and a certificate issued on approval.

In return the IHSI will:

  • Designate an IHSI member to act as point of contact for each country represented, to ease communication and provide appropriate support.
  • Provide general support and advice, and advise on education and promotion with regard to maintaining breed type.  For instance, by supplying publicity material and promotional literature.
