Commissions
The Terms of Reference outline the framework governing the operations of the IFSC Commissions and similar bodies, including Working Groups and Task Forces.
Rooted in Article 14.1 of the IFSC Statutes, the Terms of Reference set the principles, roles, and responsibilities that ensure these bodies operate in alignment with the IFSC mission, vision, and strategic objectives. The document is subject to Executive Board approval and applies to all IFSC commissions, but Athletes, Disciplinary, and Ethics. These three Commissions operate under their own specific sets of rules and terms, approved by the General Assembly, as detailed in the relevant sections of this document.
Key highlights include:
- Purpose and Scope;
- Governance and Reporting;
- Composition and Inclusivity;
- Ethical Standards and Impartiality;
- Operational Principles;
- Role of the Chair;
- Member Participation and Protocol; and
- Compensation and Volunteering.
