International Equestrian Federation Constitutional Task Force |
||
|
||
For the better part of a decade, the International Equestrian Federation (FEI) has been gamely attempting to modernise its constitution, to create a more democratic, more agile, and more genuinely international organisation. Some of those efforts have succeeded; most have come to grief. Rather than retreat from renewal, the FEI created a Constitutional Task Force made up entirely of representatives from National Federations to press reform forward. As part of our commitment to upholding transparency and public accountability, we have asked the FEI to create a page at their official site with the Task Force's documents. While they are building that page, I have posted our major documents below, which together trace the substance of previous efforts at FEI reform, outline the mandate and composition of the Task Force, describe how we set about consulting with National Federations, and provides our final report and subsequent presentation. |

Task Force Findings The Task Force presented its final report to the FEI Executive Board. The Board in turn determined what it wished to go forward to the National Federations. The Task Force then made the final presentation to the members of the FEI gathered for the 2011 General Assembly. Our report is now with the FEI Executive Board, which is responsible for replying to the membership about which recommendations it accepts, and what steps it will take to implement them. 11 November 2011
