The nomination process to stand for election to the IWBF Players’ Commission is now open.
The election will take place between 1 – 14 February, where four players will be elected to form the first-ever IWBF Players’ Commission.
The Commission will be composed of a total of eight players. The initial composition will be constructed of:
- the four Athlete Steering Committee members; and
- four additional players, who will be determined through the election.
The Commission shall have equal gender representation amongst its membership, and a fair distribution of Zonal representatives. Meaning, a female and a male player representative from each Zone who must be from different countries (therefore candidates from countries already represented may not stand).
STANDING AS A CANDIDATE
Players who wish to stand as Candidates for election must be nominated via their National Federation by 10 January 2022 (EXTENDED 15/12/2021). Candidates must:
- appear in the IWBF International Classification database

- be at least eighteen years old on the day of the election.
