What are the rights and obligations of Members?
The rights and obligations of Members are fully outlined in the Articles of Association. In essence Members, through the Association, jointly govern SNOMED CT and have the right to influence its ongoing further development. Their membership fee provides for free use of SNOMED CT within their territory. Members manage the release, adaptation, distribution and sub-licensing of SNOMED CT and other products of the Association within their Territory (Clause 5 of the Articles). Details of the conditions under which Members may access and modify SNOMED CT are fully outlined in Schedule 3 of the Articles. One of the key aims in establishing IHTSDO has been to foster international collaboration and contributions to accelerate the further development of SNOMED, and it is anticipated that Members will work together to rapidly improve the quality and comprehensiveness of SNOMED CT.
