All members have to be delegated to the Council by their respective National Mycological Societies, one from each European country. For many persons on the list above, no one have ever actually elected them to act on behalf of their nation for years or even decades they 'represented' unregistered or even imaginary societies and were even funded by ECMM to attend the meetings.Since 2017, all meetings of former Council members are considered partial or private.
Under ECMM charter there is no other bodies, subdivisions, committees or positions of the Confederation, and no other persons may be invited to ECMM Council. ECMM does not sell positions of privilege or promote medical mycologists for money, nor does it attest medical mycologists with relation to their sponsorship or donations of any kind.
