P.I. International Board – 14/15 March 2024
The meeting of the PI International Board took place at the General Secretariat in Rapallo. The meeting began with a minute's silence in memory of IB Member Eugenio Guglielmino, who died suddenly and prematurely last January. The International President then greeted and welcomed the new Board members: Fabiano Gerevini and Andrea Tortora who took over following the resignations of Patrick Van Campenhout.
After the reports on the activities of the President, Treasurer and Secretary General, there was a discussion on the projects, the recognition of the PI's 'athletes-testimonials' who will be appointed by the next Board meeting, the next General Assembly and Round Table and the Erasmus projects to which PI has applied through Fabio Figueiras and the Secretary General (seven projects).
The reports to be presented at the General Assembly were discussed and unanimously approved, together with the final balance sheet, the budget and the IB's reasoned proposal regarding the membership fees for the next two-year period (2025-26).
On this point, the Treasurer presented a proposal for an adjustment of the membership fees, which have not been increased for more than 20 years. He explained how this is indispensable to have financial independence from the IOC contribution and necessary to be able to profitably continue the numerous and increasingly intense international relations.
The International Board members, having asked numerous questions and discussed the matter in depth, agreed on the proposal. The AC considered the work positive and presented its report. The Nominations received for the election to International bodies were then submitted and their reopening was decided, limited to the EU and SA continent and the CH District (has already been sent circular) as the candidates of the International Board are not enough to fill the positions destined to the non-Italians.
The Ethics Commission was then set up to be in line with IOC directives and to ensure that PI (its organs, clubs and individual members) comply with the fundamental principles of the Code of Ethics that will be adopted by the General Assembly in Agrigento to guarantee neutrality, non-discrimination and integrity of behaviour.
The Collaboration agreement with the International Dart Federation was then approved and discussed about the opportunity to equip us with a "Mascot of the PI". For this proposal a specific project will have to be drawn up and a survey will be made among Clubs. The same thing will be applied for the official anthem of the PI.
The usual meeting with the of the PI-D. Chiesa Board took place on Friday to discuss the projects aimed at spreading our values in synergy through the international photo competition and short film competition. In this regard, it was decided to extend the photo competition to 31 March.
