[6] According to the Statutes of ASOIF, as updated in June 2023, the ASOIF Council may provisionally suspend any Full Member's rights (set forth in Article 3.4) if its IOC recognition is suspended, but allow it to retain its Member's rights set forth in Article 3.5.

These needs were identified in order to preserve the unity of the Olympic movement while maintaining 'the authority, independence and autonomy of the member International Federations.'

Olympic Agenda 2020 gives host cities the option of suggesting new sports and events for inclusion in their edition of the Games.

ASOIF has amended its statutes to enable IFs "governing sports included within the events programme for a specific edition of the Summer Olympic Games" to become "Associate Members".

ASOIF is administered by an executive body, the council, which consists of seven individual members, most of whom are presidents of Summer Olympic International Federations.
