M. Kerpan will inform the organisers.

Mr. Engler and Mr. Wollein will be invited to the GM to report on the current

state of affairs.

A new evaluation judge course/examination is planned for Canada.

It was stated once again that the WRRC is not ultimately responsible for

which teams attend the various competitions.

The GM will be held in english and german languages.

For the GM, the Presidium has submitted an application for a change in the

Statutes as follows:

Addition to the Statutes, Clause 3.3

The members' membership fees are laid down annually by the General

Meeting. However, they shall not exceed 2,000 € per member. The members'

financial contribution obligations are laid down in the Fee Order, which is

approved each year by the General Meeting.

Application for addition of Point 12 to the Statutes, Clause 12

The Presidium may, for the divisions of the WRRC such as RR Acrobatics,

Youth/Juniors, Formations, Boogie, Lindy Hop etc., nominate divisional

commissioners who will advise the Presidium on specifically divisional

matters and provide preparation for decision-making.

During the GM on Saturday, Working Groups will be formed for about 1.5

hours on the following topics:

A Formations Quo Vadis (Chair: M. Mohab)

More Dancers – more Teams

B Judging System (Chair: M. Kerpan)

More transparency for dancers and public

C Image of Rock´n´Roll ? Measures for a marketing push

(Chair: D. Bachmann)

D Boogie Woogie

Music – Dresses – Competitions! Back to the roots of Boogie Woogie?

(Chair: A.B. Neman-Kilgren)

The chairs will be charged with ensuring that the group stays with the topic

and summarising the statements and results.

It is not their task to push through their own objectives.

In these brainstorming sessions, even unconventional, open ideas should be

put down on paper.

The chairs will nominate a person from their group to present the results.

A registration form will be available online so that delegates can indicate

when they register for the GM and decide which Working Group they want to

join.

On Sunday, the GM will continue with the item from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
