New structure Congress Initial working hypothesis for the governance of the ICF Election Congress: To be held at the end of each Olympic cycle. This would be where all elections were held, eliminating proxy and maintaining the quorum. For changing Status, General Rules and Elections. Technical Changes. To be held between Olympic periods. We will have to change the Quorum For changing Technical Rules
New structure Technical Congress To be held between Olympic periods Full members will include: NFs (these will have the right to vote) The Board of Directors. The Technical Committees (Chairmen and members) Commissions. The Congress will consist of two parts: The first will create workshops to debate proposals from the committees and NFs The second will submit the workshops conclusions and proposals to the full Congress for discussion and approval. We will have to change the Quorum.
