International Naturist Federation (INF-FNI) and American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR): heed words of the late Jimmy Carter, who received 2002 Nobel Peace Prize for efforts to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts. Many parts of Europe (and small parts of USA) have witnessed organised naturism throughout more than 100 years, despite interruptions by two World Wars with another being threatened in 2025. Several international non-governmental organizations (INGOs) are known for robust accreditation mechanisms that ensure high standards of governance, accountability, and alignment with mission objectives for their member entities, even across different jurisdictions. These mechanisms often include rigorous application processes, periodic reviews, and compliance monitoring. Besides INF-FNI, other well-known INGOs include Amnesty International, Médecins Sans Frontières, Transparency International, International Federation of Red Cross/Red Crescent Societies and World Wildlife Fund (none achieve perfection). For all INGOs, financial transparency and anti-corruption goals are key to accreditation of constituent members (with revocation or suspension for failure to meet specified standards).

As a condition for rejoining INF-FNI: AANR must demand improved accreditation mechanisms, e.g:

Clear Standards: INF-FNI must require good governance, financial accountability and mission alignment from all members (existing categories of membership are illogical and prone to abuse). INF-FNI must redefine its mission to become a global regulator of human behaviour (not an association, not a religion, not club for nude gatherings nor even a nation state). Established mission of INF-FNI is no less than to desexualise and decriminalise normal human nudity in all jurisdictions of the world, simultaneously with promoting respectful and healthy relationships between all humans of all genders. INF-FNI must campaign to criminalise encouragement of murder (e.g. the prevalent online pornography which dehumanises victims and strangles during sex). Meanwhile, INF-FNI must acknowledge that physical intimacy, self-masturbation and - occasionally - penetrative sex can sometimes represent healthy human behaviours. INF-FNI must publish a policy to accept, decline and eject members upon these criteria. The demonstrable fallibility of human nature dictates that no natural person may be a member of INF-FNI, irrespective of any financial (c)offers.
Periodic Reviews: Regular evaluations to ensure compliance and address deficiencies.
Transparency: Require members to report activities, finances, and outcomes consistently.
Capacity Building: Offer support to help member entities improve and align with standards.
Enforcement Mechanisms: Include processes for suspension, revocation, or probation if standards are not met.

INF-FNI might thus ensure its member entities remain aligned with organisational goals and maintain a high level of trust and credibility globally.

WANC serves as the central portal, connecting all organs in a cohesive conference cycle, e.g.

- Year 1: WNP + TNLT conferences.

- Year 2: IFNA + GLAD conferences.

- Year 3: GCSN + AION conferences.

- Year 4: WANC global assembly.

2. Constituent Entity Pages:

Each entity gets a dedicated page summarising its mission, key activities, and upcoming conference details as well as links to their standalone websites.
Announcements on major initiatives, resolutions and projects from WANC and associated organs.
Participant directory.
A secure area for registered members and participants to connect.

3. Constituent Entity Websites:

Each organ to have its own website.
Designed to align with the 4-yearly cycle of independent conferences and unique missions.

4. Shared Design Elements Across Organs:

6. Annual Rotation of Prominence:

On WANC website, constituent organs hosting conferences get extra visibility through highlighted bananas. Even in years without conferences, websites remain active with changing themes and cross-entity projects that span multiple entities (e.g., an art exhibition sponsored by IFNA, hosted in a TNLT sanctuary).

7. Home Page for WANC:

Concept

A 4-yearly cycle, whereby World Assembly of Naturist Collectives (WANC) - as a coordinating organ - meets once in 4 years, with its 6 constituent entities convening independently (each once in 4 years, but staggered throughout the 3 years when WANC does not meet).
