21.2. The Intersteno-congresses are organized by one of the National Groups, eventually in co-operation with individual members.
21.3. A National Group, organizing an international Intersteno-congress, sets up an organizing committee and appoints a chairperson for the congress.
21.4. The organizing committee consults the Board beforehand about its plan for the congress. The plan has to be approved by the Council or, in case of urgency, by the Board.
21.5. Financially the organizing committee is only responsible for the costs directly linked to the organization of the congress.
21.6. The Federation can give financial support to the organizing committee.

The Council decides, on the proposal of the Board, on the plan for such an international Intersteno-meeting, including the financial set-up, the question if international contests can be held during that meeting and if a meeting of the General Assembly can take place during that meeting.
21.8. Intersteno-meetings can also be organized in the interval of two or three years between Intersteno-congresses. For these Intersteno-meetings the rules of article 21.7 are applicable.
