Discussion Paper on the Future Financing of the International Rogaining Federation

For Discussion in July 2013

"1. Background:
In January 2013 a motion was put to the IRF Council that would establish an agreed funding basis for the IRF from 2014 onwards. This motion followed on from a series of options papers that had been circulated to IRF Councillors and Observers over the previous eight months and a discussion paper that was first circulated in May 2010. A copy of the motion, with some very minor typographical changes from the January 2013 version, is attached along with a spreadsheet that allows Members to quickly calculate the levy that would be payable by them if the proposed motion is endorsed.
During that eight month circulation period there had been very little objection to the proposal raised. However, when the motion was formally moved, objections were heard from a number of areas and the motion was put on hold.
2. Way Forward:
At the meeting in July we would like attendees to be in a position to discuss any concerns with the proposed funding arrangements from the perspective of the country and/or group that they represent.
The Executive will then make any changes to the motion as currently drafted that are seen as appropriate based on the feedback provided and bring the motion before Council."

Discussion Paper on the Future Direction of World Rogaining Championships

For Discussion in July 2013

"1. Background:
The IRF Council has considered several aspects of the World Rogaining Championships over the past year or two. Some councillors have suggested the IRF needs a more formal process for WRC management. This discussion paper is to stimulate discussion of the key elements of WRC management.
2. Overview:
We want this discussion paper to be distributed by you to the rogaine organising committees and/or individuals in your country and for you to ask them to advise if they support the proposals contained in this document and if not to suggest alternatives. We want you to bring these ideas and feedback to the IRF meeting planned to be held at the Alol Tourist Centre on 25 July 2013 ahead of the 2013 WRC. The 25 July 2013 meeting will not be used to make final decisions. The discussions at that meeting will be used by the IRF Executive to develop draft proposals for subsequent discussion and decision by the IRF Council.
This paper covers five key elements of WRC management:
• Frequency of WRCs
• Rotation of WRC Host Regions
• Requirements for WRC Hosts
• WRC Host Selection Process
• Timelines for WRC Host Selection
Each of these is expanded upon below" please see attachment for remaining text.
