Various ideas are due to be presented and discussed at the online event.

The Finnish Orienteering Federation has asked for the IOF to propose actions to preserve the culture of fair play in the sport.

In response to the proposal, the IOF Council said that actions included in its strategic directions should be presented and discussed by IOF members at the Pre-General Assembly, with a resolution regarding fair play introduced at the General Assembly.

The Czech Orienteering Federation has proposed a calendar for IOF major events with fixed dates, that can only be changed two years in advance. 

The IOF has agreed to implement this, with the exception of certain circumstances out of its control.

Officials from the Norwegian Orienteering Federation have asked the IOF Council to carry out rules for banning fluorinated waxing products, and to bring in legislation for the 2021-2022 winter season.

The IOF Council will ask the General Assembly to provide guidance to minimise or eliminate the use of the products in ski orienteering "as soon as possible".

Proposals by the Council have also been made to make changes to the IOF statutes, including added athlete representation in the Council.

This would allow two athletes representatives, one man and one woman, to take Council seats.

Under this suggestion, the IOF Council would consist of the IOF President, three IOF vice-presidents, seven other IOF Council members and the two athlete representatives. 

The IOF Council is also proposing to include a minimum of three people of each gender on the IOF Council, an increase from two.

Another proposal from the Council is a revision of the provisional membership system, to make it easier for National Federations to become affiliated with the IOF.

Under current regulations, the IOF requires a national organisation to be recognised by a relevant national sports body such as a Sports Ministry or National Olympic Committee.

A change to the rules has been proposed, which would state: "Provisional membership may be granted to organisations which have not yet fulfilled all requirements for membership yet have fulfilled the basic requirements of good governance and have demonstrated achievements in the development of the sport in their country."
