. Organization Safeguarding the autonomy of regional federations is an important focal point for the KNMO. The KNMO is responsible for those aspects that can best be done on a national level and regional and local organizations are responsible for those aspects that can best be taken care of on a regional or local level. The KNMO is a volunteer organization by nature. The administrators in the national umbrella organization, the regional federations, and the local associations are all unpaid volunteers. The KNMO organization is supported by a professional agency. . Conclusion The policy plan forms the foundation for the future development of the KNMO. This plan is developed into an annual operational plan, which forms the basis for the activities that are organized each year.
