Every year, MIM holds a party congress to determine issues of majority rule. The four cardinal principles are matters that the party requires unanimity on, but other issues are voted up or
down at a Congress. That is the democracy part. After the Congress all members are required to carry out the decision of the majority. That is the centralism part.

2000 Congress
1999 Congress
In the 1999 Congress, MIM adopted a new structure to give honorary members a greater role in the political struggle. Meeting full membership requirements in MIM is extremely difficult, but the struggle to keep an organization based in the imperialist countries and its internal semi-colonies on the genuine Maoist road can be engaged by those not yet members in full-standing.

Prior Congresses and abridgements
The above documents do not include resolutions on MIM's internal structure,
nuts-and-bolts resolutions generally too boring for the general public to care about. Also a perusal of 1993 resolutions shows that they were very short. A sense of what Congress passes can be obtained from old MIM Theory magazines and MIM Notes issues, because the line of those publications must reflect the line of party congresses.
