There is no evidence in the current law of our country, which is a blank point. The definition of this standard is also controversial in the field of legal theory. Due to the historical evolution of rural collective economic organizations and related uncertain factors such as population mobility due to needs, the confirmation of members' rights has become an autonomous matter within the village collective.

Regardless of household registration, the time of the first round of contracting, and whether farming in the village is the basic living guarantee, these standards can be summarized into two categories, namely, the accumulation of labor and the accumulation of capital. Judging from the important feature that rural collective economic organizations are a combination of labor and capital, determining membership can be judged from two aspects: labor accumulation and capital accumulation. In the first case, in the first round of contracting, farmers contracted their collective land, fruit trees, etc. And obtained the right to contracted management of land, which embodies the labor of trade unions and has the membership of collective economic organizations. In the second case, paying household fees and public utility fees to the receiving village, investing in building roads and running enterprises in the receiving village is to pay accumulation to the collective economic organization, which embodies the combination of capital and also has the membership of the collective economic organization. Therefore, anyone who meets the above two conditions should be defined as a member of the collective economic organization and his membership should be confirmed. This is in line with the principles of fairness and honesty.

At present, there is no clear standard for defining the members of rural collective economic organizations, which belongs to the internal autonomy of village collectives. The Organic Law of Villagers' Committees stipulates that more than two thirds of the members of villagers' meetings or farmers' representatives must agree. At the same time, however, the second paragraph of Article 20 of the Law stipulates that "the articles of association of villagers' autonomy, village rules and regulations, matters discussed and decided at villagers' meetings or villagers' representative meetings shall not contravene the Constitution, laws, regulations and national policies, and shall not infringe upon villagers' personal rights, democratic rights and legitimate property rights."
