Amendment No. 10 | Doc. 14464 | 23 January 2018
Working towards a framework for modern sports governance
Committee on Culture, Science, Education and Media
In the draft resolution, replace paragraph 20 with the following paragraph:
"The Assembly further calls on international multi-stakeholder platforms to:
1. include in their work as varied a range of stakeholders as possible in order to foster fresh thinking, innovative ideas and modern approaches in facing new challenges; besides individually offering new complementary dynamics and solutions to the issues of sports governance and integrity, to draw upon their strengths and synergies and co-operate actively with one another;
2. undertake a broad-based discussion on harmonising good governance standards and elaborating an ISO certification standard on governance of sports organisations;
3. offer monitoring, consultancy and coaching to sports organisations of various sizes in order to help them through institutional reforms;
4. as a prerequisite for securing independent oversight over governance of sport and getting truthful, objective and credible results of the evaluation, to establish an independent compliance assessment of the implementation of the accepted common standards, in particular through developing a sports ethics rating system that would be implemented by (a) professional fit-for-purpose agency(ies)."
Explanatory note
The committee sees the original version referring to specific multi-stakeholder platforms as being too restrictive and prefers the ideas to be kept more “generic” in order to stay in line with the spirit of the explanatory memorandum.
