Status are also ok for me.
 
Article 12.3 The other half of total number of votes.... etc. will cause big problems
in the future.These kind way putting each other different position is not model of
new modern sport organisation its a model of old fashioned organisations and shows for Finnish
that some countries wants to have so much power that they can control rules, tour and everything
else.It also gives possible to make rules inside system  with serves only middle europe countries and
some other very big countries.
 
Racketlon will need democraty not powerfull inviduals or countries!
 
I hope wise and  good meetings in Wienna.

President of Finnish Racketlon Federation

Ämne: Agendas Council and Extraordinary General Meeting in Vienna!

Dear Country Representatives,

Dear Council Members,

 

Attached I send you the statutes one more time, approved by an English lawyer. As all of you have seen them and approved them, it should only be a formality to send me ONE more e-mail before the WORLD CHAMPS just saying OK!
