Page | 4
Appendix 1
Mr. Dibos replied that this would be announced shortly.
Mr. Harish Kumar, representative from India, raised a question regarding the voting rights of the WTF Council members. Mr. Kumar meant that since there was now an Acting Chairman appointed and elections for WTF officials were to be held the voting rights of the WTF Council should seize to exist. Mr. Kumar went on to say that if the WTF Council were to vote this would be unethical and unfair. Mr. Kumar also meant that he believed the General Assembly to be for the MNAs without the WTF Council.
The Acting Chairman referred to Mr. Jason Pfeffer of the Election Committee to reply to the statement by Mr. Kumar.
Mr. Pfeffer clarified that according to article 8.6 of the Rules & Regulations the General Assembly shall be organized with the members of the WTF Council and representatives of the MNAs. In addition, in accordance with article 11.3 of the WTF Rules & Regulations, all members of the WTF Council begin their term of office at the end of the General Assembly which elected them. Their terms of office cease at the end of the General Assembly held during the year which they expire.
The Acting Chairman points out that this is a matter of changing the WTF Rules & Regulations and not an issue for this election. Mr. Kumar was allowed to make another statement.
Mr. Kumar stated that the voting right of the WTF Council members needs to be stated in the WTF Rules & Regulations. In the case that there is a tradition that is being followed that they have voting rights it is unlawful and unethical and can not be carried on. Mr. Kumar went on to state that the WTF Council consists of nominated members (by the WTF President) and thus should not be allowed to vote just like appointed members in a government are not allowed to vote.
The Acting Chairman intervened and explained that Mr. Kumar’s comments were out of line since they have to do with rule change instead of the election. The Acting Chairman referred to Mr. Dibos for a reply to Mr. Kumar.
Mr. Dibos stated that rules governing a country have nothing to do with the rules of an International Sports organization such as the WTF.
Mr. Pfeffer pointed out that according to the WTF Rules & Regulations the General Assembly is defined as the WTF Council and the representatives of the MNAs. Mr. Pfeffer adds that the WTF Rules & Regulations state the qualifications to have voting right not that the WTF Council should not have voting rights.
The Acting Chairman gave to floor to Mr. Adrian Tranter, representative from Great Britain.
Mr. Tranter requested that officials running for re-election have to step down from their position before the election and added that there in article 16 of the WTF Rules & Regulations is no mention of the voting rights of WTF Council members.
Page | 5
Appendix 1
Mr. Pfeffer replied that the precedence have to be taken into account that since the formation of WTF members of the WTF have been allowed to vote and also article 16.4 G of the Rules & Regulations which states that the WTF Council shall decide upon “other matters under its jurisdiction or responsibility, as prescribed in the WTF Rules & Regulations.” Mr. Pfeffer went on to point out the responsibilities of the General Assembly listed in article 8 and emphasized that the General Assembly consists of the members of the WTF Council and representatives of the MNAs.
The Acting Chairman closed the debate on this subject since this matter referred more to rule changes than the election.
Mr. Gerrit Eissink inserted that this was an issue that had been raised before by the European Taekwondo Union and that they do not agree with the WTF Council members having voting rights since this is not clearly stated in the WTF Rules & Regulations.
Mr. Pfeffer replied by asking how Mr. Eissink who had been exercising his voting right as a member of the WTF Council for years suddenly found it to be against the rules now. Mr. Pfeffer once again pointed out that the General Assembly consists of the members of the WTF Council and representatives of the MNAs. Mr. Pfeffer recommended this change to be put forward at a later time under article 20 of the WTF Rules & Regulations.
The Acting Chairman moved forward since all voices on the matter had been heard and appointed the observers for the election. The observers are all non-voting representatives from MNAs to ensure that the ballot counting is done correctly and that there are no improprieties.
The observers were:
Mr. Musa Kaibo (Nigeria) Mr. Cao Tao (China) Mr. John Kotsifas (Australia) Mr. Gary Hall (Great Britain) Mr. Kevin Padilla (USA)
The Acting Chairman asked the General Assembly if there were any objections to the appointed observers. There were no objections.
