Bob indicted that due to funding restraints, not all Committee members could be invited to the meeting. 1.2 ISF President Mr. Porter was invited to address the meeting. Noted • Mr Porter also advised that due to the budget constraints, reduced numbers were invited to this meeting. • Mr. Porter stressed the importance of umpiring with respect to the image of our sport on the international stage. He thought that softball was fortunate to have a robust umpiring programme that serves the sport well • Mr Porter expressed concerns that National Federations will experience budget issues in the future and this may impact their ability to send teams to World Championships. The ISF and member Federations must continually seek alternate revenue streams. • 2020 Olympic Program – Softball is on the short list of 8 sports under consideration. Softball and Baseball are pursuing joint presentation and are meeting with IOC next week to clarify the combined bid as to what is expected in terms of a combined sport with two divisions.

INTRODUCTION By Diana Nyad For two decades, the GENDER IN TELEVISED SPORTS report has tracked the progress— as well as the lack of progress—in the coverage of women’s sports on television news and highlights shows. One of the positive outcomes derived from past editions of this valuable study has been a notable improvement in the often‐derogatory ways that sports commentators used to routinely speak of women athletes. The good news in this report is that there is far less insulting and overtly sexist treatment of women athletes than there was twenty or even ten years ago.
