The creators of an association[1] must draw up articles of association containing the following particulars:—

  1. Its object;
  2. Its name;
  3. The location of its office;
  4. Provisions relating to its capital;
  5. Provisions as to the appointment or dismissal of its managers;
  6. Provisions as to the acquisition or loss of membership in it.

The articles of association can only be changed by the consent of at least three quarters of the members; except so far as the articles themselves provide otherwise.
