### Summary
- This paper examines the implications of the Fund accepting membership in the Financial Stability Board (“FSB”).
- The FSB Charter (the ―Charter‖) explicitly contemplates the possibility of the Fund and the other international financial institutions becoming members but notes that ―the acceptance of membership by the international financial institutions (IFIs) in the FSB is subject to the approval of their respective governing bodies.‖
- An Executive Board decision is required for the Fund to accept membership and is proposed below.

### Key observations and implications
- The Charter explicitly contemplates IFI membership in the FSB.
- Acceptance of membership by IFIs, including the Fund, is subject to approval by their respective governing bodies.
- Executive Board approval within the Fund is required to accept FSB membership.
