What the Association’s published archives establish about member statuses and dues, the affiliating sections served by the directory, and the official texts that ground them. No membership fee is published to date.
The Association has published neither a fee schedule nor a membership form. What its communiqués and congress proceedings do name, however, are the statuses under which one belongs to Nonvitcha. Each status below is quoted word for word, with the article that carries it.
The two statuses that the 8th Congress names together, recalling that they commit equally toward the Federal Executive Bureau.
« all members by right and all active members of the Nonvitcha association »
« membres de droit »: 6 files, 6 occurrences · « membres actifs »: 6 files, 6 occurrences
The President’s Message reserves part of the association’s showcase for those who support it without being members, without making it a priced category.
« a showcase reserved for the third parties and sympathizers of our crucible »
« sympathisants »: 7 files, 27 occurrences · « tiers et sympathisants »: 7 files, 21 occurrences
The scope that official communiqués give the association: the two communities, those assimilated to them, and their sympathizers.
« to the Xwla, Xwéla, assimilated communities and other sympathizers »
« assimilees »: 10 files, 21 occurrences · « ressortissants »: 6 files, 18 occurrences
« he reminded all members by right and all active members of the Nonvitcha association that they have the obligation to continue to assist the new bureau through the regular payment of dues and other donations and subsidies that the association will need »8th Congress of our Nonvitcha Association
Dues are therefore a statutory obligation, and they go hand in hand with donations and subsidies. Their amount, however, appears in no publication of the Association: neither the communiqués, nor the congress proceedings, nor the facsimiles of the Statutes carry it in a readable form.
Recorded across the 772 files of the backup: « cotisation » 6 files, « paiement regulier » 6, « dons et subventions » 6 — and 0 files for « 5 000 fcfa », « 50 000 fcfa », « cotisation annuelle », « droit d’entrée » and « frais d’adhésion ».
The directory of membership plans currently carries no entry: no amount, no periodicity, no currency. They will appear here as soon as the Federal Executive Bureau has transmitted them. In the meantime, no sum is announced on this page.
The Statutes and the Internal Regulations are the only documents that set member statuses and the dues regime. The archives preserve them as facsimiles: none of their pages carry a text layer — they are photographs of pages, which neither a search nor a screen reader can traverse. Reading them is therefore done document in hand.
The directory of official documents currently serves neither the Statutes nor the Internal Regulations.
Each line below is quoted from the « Origines et historiques » post in the Association’s archives.
The law of 1 July 1901 is the legal regime under which the statutes were filed, not the founding date: the Association was born in Grand-Popo in 1921. A post in the backup conflates the two dates, and this page does not follow it.
Every membership attaches to a section. The directory serves 0 affiliating sections, served by the directory, divided into 0 sets: Bénin first, then the diasporas of Africa, Europe and the Americas. A section that does not appear in this list does not exist in the directory, and this page adds none.
The list of affiliating sections is empty on the directory side. It will appear here as soon as it carries any: this page writes no section of its own initiative.
Write to the Federal Executive BureauThis page carries only what the published archives and the directory establish. What follows is missing, and nothing has been written to replace it.
The Federal Executive Bureau can transmit these elements: they will then appear here, without any line of this page having had to be guessed. In the meantime, a membership is prepared by writing to the headquarters.
