3.3 CMAS Official absent during the 2006 World Championships
The President was charged of another mission, the Secretary General had to represent there CMAS
The Commission requested CAS an urgent procedure and the deadlines for replying and limited to 6 days the Secretary General
a. esteemed to be totally available to manage this matter
b. he informed the organisation by proposing them to send urgently an invitation to the Chairlady of CMAS Sports Committee in order she could, having Russian nationality, obtain visa for representing CMAS at this championship, but no following to this request by the organisation.
It is a commonly known fact that visa applications take time, and applications from particular countries taken even more time. Urgency is not considered an important factor by most governments. There was no satisfactory solution in this instance. We are sorry the Sports President could not gain the visa in time to attend, but neither we nor the host had a possible solution. |
