IKA Meeting Dusseldorf 24th-25th January 2009
Posted: Wed Jan 07, 2009 12:59 pm
Dear Kitesurf Associations-
Please find letter below from IKA
We have forwarded this on to as many National associations as possible however so far feedback has been slow.
I urge you to send a representative to this meeting which will be held at the Dusseldorf Boot Fair ( Boat Show) on the 24th and 25th January 2009
This is highly important for the future of Kitesurfing Worldwide
Please forward this to any one who you may know who has responsibility for National Associations ( which must have committee and constitution )
Many thanks
Richard Gowers
Chairman

Dear Richard, (Ceri Williams, IKA committee and all national associations
known to us in copy)
it was kind of you to go to the trouble of making a draft for our agenda.
However, this meeting is called, and is being hosted, by the IKA.
The meeting will be chaired by IKA prsident, Christian Conrad, and it is
therefore our responsibility to set dates, venue and agenda.
The meeting will be held on the weekend 24./25. of January in Dusseldorf
during boot exhibition. We will book a conference room depending on the
feedback and number of participants.
The meeting is mainly intended to constitute the relationship between the
IKA and the national associations in a multilateral meeting, as well as
negotiating about extending the IKA with the necessary sub-committees, their
roles and responsibilities etc.
Depending on further pre-negotiations, the IKA might invite additional
private tour operators and organizers to bi-lateral consultations.
The provisional agenda is as follows, amendmends may be made from feedback
received and times adjusted after confirmation date of attendance:
TOP 1: Welcome and introduction
TOP 2: Brief overview about IKA history, ISAF actions and decision,
responsibility, rights
TOP 3: IKAs idea of integrating national kite associations and other
sub-committees (voting and non-voting)
TOP 4: Questions and answers

TOP 5: Constitution of national class associations sub-committee
