The resolution is: APB will integrate to the ITI platform UNESCO Network for Higher Education in the Performing Arts.

 

The goals and principles for APB should remain the same as before – Friendship, Equality, Cooperation, and Sharing.

 

APB will keep its present form and practice with its own administration, a fixed secretary general and a rotating presidency.

 

The membership of UNESCO Network for Higher Education in the Performing Arts should be regarded as Added Value.

 

APB will continuously be open to multiple member schools from the same country. Each school has its qualities that have nothing to do with nationality. In APB each member school has one vote.

 

APB agrees that in UNESCO Network for Higher Education in the Performing Arts each country has one vote.

 

All APB members should be able to become members of UNESCO Network for Higher Education in the Performing Arts. They should also be free not to become members of UNESCO Network for Higher Education in the Performing Arts but remain members of APB.

 

Each APB member school will receive an official document certifying his or her membership.

 

UNESCO Network for Higher Education in the Performing Arts recognizes that APB will be a consulting body within ITI, and will consult with APB regarding membership of schools from the Asia Pacific Region. There will never be a member from the Asia Pacific Region that APB does not approve of.

 

UNESCO Network for Higher Education in the Performing Arts will send out application forms to all members of APB
