In addition to the high admission standards for members, what makes AFN different is what we call “disciplined cooperation”. Every AFN member agrees to adhere and be bound by the following AFN rules, and has agreed to report any breaches of the said rules by other members to AFN head office.
Any member who fails to adhere to these rules may get expelled from the network and will be replaced by the next best-qualified applicant on the waiting list for that territory.
