That sounds excellent.

After a good night's rest I am glad this thread went in the right direction.

Good job folks.

I am still in favor of distributing the original belts randomly (I have a nice die at home which I used to judge a war game once and it is very neutral ;) )

OR

If we hand them out, I suggest we hand them out to the lowest ranked teams.
Why? easy, this way they, and some other teams can get a hold of it for a short period before it gets into the hands of the leaders of each division.

This ofcourse is only a proposition, and you guys do whatever you want to pick the initial holders.

Another thing, at the lowest level with 42 teams, it might be worth thinking about having four continental belts - asia and oceniana, the americas, europe, africa I guess - to help with the volume issue. I'm sure you guys can find the right criteria.

Proper name - the International Friendly Competition

right, admin, as the first IFC president, I appoint JuicePats as commissioner and Acworth as assistant commissioner. Lord of Doom is invited to join as executive vice president and we need another EVP for the steering committee, preferably non-US and non-mod to have some wider representation. I'm delegating this choice to Lord of Doom, if he's willing to join.

If it takes off, we can have some elections somewhere down the line to make it a bit more democratic!

Suggestions for who does what

President - appoints initial officers, formulates IFC structure. No voting powers unless the steering committee is split 2-2, when he or she may cast a deciding vote or place the motion on hold until the next meeting. Responsible for proposing any motion to hold elections for offices.

Commissioner - Oversees rankings. Proposes ideas to steering committee. Liaises with Heavyweight, Light Heavyweight and Middleweight belt holders. Arranges meetings of the Steering Committee.

Asst. Commisioner - Monitor weight class criteria and propose motions for any revisions, liaises with Lightweight and welterweight belt holders. Proposes ideas to steering committee.

EVPs - attend steering committee meetings and can propose ideas. Has equal voting power to the Comiss and Asst. Comiss. May take on additional responsibility from other officers if asked (and willing) to do so.

Tasks facing the committee:-
1. appoint one/ two EVPs
2. ratify IFC name, or propose and choose new one
3. agree on formula to appoint initial champions
4. contact initial champions and see if they're up for it.
5. agree rules of engagement for championship contests

Think that's a quick and easy workable structure and task list... any thoughts? while I'm away, I'd like Doom to deputise as president.

I look forward to seeing what you do with this idea while I'm away on vacation (oops, holiday) and I'll see you all again in mid-July!

nice, I didn't even get time to react and already I'm bombed president.
lol

Well at first I thought no way, I will not have time for this, but then I saw as EVP I actually do not need to do anything but look. ;)
I like doing nothing, so I think I'll accept. ;þ

It also stated I must be willing to take over a task from an other officer, so I guess I'll gladly decline to be president in your absence.

As for the other EVP I propose an election, since I know no non-Belgians who I'd like to bring forward here.
So
All interested candidates for EVP, make yourselves known!
