IPC plans no further participation in the WAGs until such time the development of the concept is presented to and approved by the IPC Plenary. 7. GENERAL ISSUES President Giradin asked delegates to think about the future of World Cups and whether they should be replaced with leagues or tours, like the National Skydiving League, Pro-tour and Europa Cup. Also, whether it would be better to have several short IPC competitions throughout the year in order to increase the number of competitions rather than one World Cup for each discipline every other year. There was discussion on how to increase revenue and the need to develop a relationship with private bidders of FCEs. In the future, mondial bids will be addressed in the agenda as a separate item, rather than as part of each competition committee agenda item. The Plenary approved the development of the concepts by the President. Page 3 of 20
