It was further proposed that all voting must be conducted by internet, and no voting will be conducted at the Congress. It was further proposed that all associations who are financial members of FISTF will be notified of the voting procedure in advance. These proposals were accepted to be included in the original motion.

The Motion (and inclusions) was put to the Board:

“An internet voting protocol will be established, with clear written rules to be distributed to all Member Associations. This will be formalised by Mr Horst Deimel.”
