“Procedural”motions

Rule changes possible every Congress for field, 3D and compound*

- non-Olympic/Paralympic - no reason to limit, but still up to Congress to decide

Opening up the possibility to hold Congress together with World Cup Finals

- gives more flexibility in finding host cities

World Archery – 17 May 2019

World Indoor Championships motion

Reason:

- number of participating countries decreasing- multiple countries do not fund non-Olympic formats now there is an alternative

- number of participants decreasing- focusing more on outdoor season

- value of World Champions title decreasing

For example: 3 medals with 5 teams in CW category

- difficult to find hosts (mainly because of low interest of countries)
