REPORT
The RDC - San Juan started its programme of scheduled
institutional activities on April 3 6, with the staging of the inaugural IAAF
Information Technology seminar. A general orientation seminar geared to update
our members on the new IAAF Global Network Programme, which has been on stream
since the start of the year. A total of 30 participants, representing 25 federations
were guided by the IAAF IT Manager, Emanuele Perotti Nigra ably assisted by Kasserlain
Pierre (FRA). We trust that the knowledge and first hand experience gained by
the participants on the new system will greatly enhance our communication capabilities
in the future.
