Individuals who are based in low and middle-income countries, (those with a per capita gross national income (GNI) of less than US$ 12,536) benefit from discounted membership fees. The ranking is based on the World Bank Atlas Method using GNI per Capita (in US Dollars, last updated July 2020, source).
