The IOC’s mission is to place athletes at the heart of the Olympic Movement, and the Olympic Agenda 2020 recommendations and the IOC Athletes’ Commission Strategy further support the importance of having effective Athletes’ Commissions. In an effort to assist NOCs, the IOC has prepared these Guidelines, which are intended to serve as minimum standards for NOCs when establishing the terms of reference of their Athletes’ Commissions. 1. MISSION The mission of an NOC Athletes’ Commission (hereafter “Commission”) is to represent the views of the athletes and make their voice heard within the NOC. 2. OBJECTIVES The objectives of the Commission are to: a. Consider issues related to athletes and provide advice to the NOC; b. Engage actively with initiatives and projects that protect and support clean athletes on and off the field of play; c. Represent the rights and interests of athletes and make related recommendations, including recommending arbitrators to be appointed to the International Council of Arbitration for Sport (ICAS); and d.
