Anyone have this kind of hobby? I think I'm interested in it.
Is there anyone who masters this field?
Thanks.

In Stockholm Convention, the General Assembly has endorsed the new FISM Statutes, including the future organizational structure of the FISM, as depicted in the following diagram.
The ultimate directive authority of the FISM is vested in the General Assembly, consisting of all the Presidents of the Member Societies and which is presided over by the International President.
The International President and two International Vice Presidents constitute the PRESIDIUM.
The first International FISM President is ERIC ESWIN(NED); the International FISM Vice Presidents are GERRIT BRENGMAN(BEL) and DOMENICO DANTE(ITA).
The members of the General Assembly are subdivided in six continental divisions: Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, North America and Oceania. Each continental organization is run by its own Continental President.
The six Continental Presidents together with the Presidium constitute the FISM EXECUTIVE BOARD (FEB).
The FEB decides on all affairs, except for
the election and appointment of the International President and the International Vice-Presidents;
the dissolution of the FISM;
alterations of the Statutes and of the FISM Competition Rules and Procedures;
the approval of the accounts and the budget for a new period, including the entrance fee and the contribution to be charged to the Member Societies;
the election of the venue of the next FISM convention, which issues are determined by the General Assembly.
