prospective member

请看例句：

The Board of Governors of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) adopted resolutions on Thursday approving 13 new prospective members to join the bank, bringing its total approved membership to 70.
亚洲基础设施投资银行(亚投行)理事会23日通过决议，批准13个新的意向成员的加入，这使得该行获批的成员总数扩至70个。

这是亚投行自去年初正式开张后首次迎来新的意向成员(it's the first time the bank has welcomed new prospective members since its inception)。亚投行新闻发言人欧若拉称，此次新增成员包括5个域内意向成员(regional prospective member)——阿富汗、亚美尼亚、斐济、中国香港和东帝汶；还有8个非域内成员——比利时、加拿大、埃塞俄比亚、匈牙利、爱尔兰、秘鲁、苏丹、委内瑞拉。

据悉，13个意向成员申请加入获批后，还需走完国内法定程序(complete domestic due processes)并将首笔资本金缴存亚投行(deposit the first installment of capital with the AIIB)后，才能成为正式成员(formal member)。分配给13个新意向成员的股本来自于现有股本池中未分配的部分(the shares allocated to the 13 new prospective members come from an existing pool of unallocated shares)。

亚投行行长金立群表示，世界各国有兴趣加入亚投行(the interest in joining the AIIB from around the world)，无疑加快了把亚投行打造成国际机构(establish the bank as an international institution)的进程。如今，令人自豪的是亚投行成员几乎遍布每个洲，今年晚些时候预计理事会将审批通过另一批新成员的加入。
