* Due to the IPC General Assembly decision to adjourn the IPC General Assembly meeting on 27 September 2025 after the first round of elections for Members-at-Large, the term of office of the existing Members-at-Large continues until the elections at the Extraordinary General Assembly.

Additionally, the Governing Board provides recommendations on membership (conditions for membership and fees) to the General Assembly, including motions received from members. It is also responsible for approving budgets and audited accounts, IPC rules and regulations, membership of IPC Committees and the Paralympic Games.

The Governing Board is elected every four years and members can serve a maximum of three terms.
