[email protected] www.wfdf.org 1 2 July 17, 2014 Dear WFDF members: We are providing this briefing book to give you information in advance of WFDF’s annual Congress, which is scheduled for Saturday August 2, 2014 in Lecco, Italy in conjunction with the World Ultimate Club Championships. Our Congress is composed of several types of discussions. First, there are the business matters of the federation requiring voting approval of the members: approval of the proposed budget, acceptance of the financial statements, approval of the Auditor, the annual risk assessment, and approval of key play related matters (for this year, the recommendations of the Spirit of the Game Task Force). Second there are a variety of presentations made to apprise you of our activities: the Census, the Opinion Survey, various WFDF sanctioned events, the disc sport committees, the work of the Commissions, development work, and anti- doping issues. Finally, we like to encourage an open dialogue among the Members on various topics of interest. This year will feature Spirit of the Game and on-field governance, the WFDF Strategic plan, and development projects. In particular, in the area of development, you will see in the budget that WFDF will be devoting a significantly greater amount of resources in this area. We also plan to have two separate evening sessions for broader discussions. The first will be on Monday evening on “spirit of the game,” where we will look to get further input from Member associations and athletes in this important area for us.
