&#13;
1. Working Group regarding possible one vote voting system&#13;
In the IISHF Communication Letter 2009-14 we asked for participants for a working group that should make an input for a time table if and if yes how to implement a equal working system to replace the current voting system (1, 2 or 3 votes depending on the number of teams) which was discussed at the AGM 2009 in Florence, Italy without losing financial payment from the member countries. The working group should then present a report at the next AGM 2010.&#13;
&#13;
Germany had also asked to participate in the working group. Lately Denmark also asked to be participating.&#13;
&#13;

The current voting system (1, 2 or 3 votes) depending on the number of teams was discussed at the AGM 2009 in Florence, Italy. It was decided that a working group should be established with a representative from each Member Country in order to discuss this topic in order to make a input for a time table if and if yes how to implement a equal working system without losing financial payment from the member countries. The working group should then present a report at the next AGM 2010. Please report the name of your representative for the working group. Deadline for your reply is December 7, 2009 (3 weeks deadline).&#13;
&#13;
9. New IISHF Presidium 2010&#13;

Piergiovanni Gionchetta will end his period as IISHF President at the AGM 2010 and will not be willing to be reelected. Erik Sommer and Ingo Goerke are willing to continue for a new 2 year period in the IISHF Presidium. The IISHF Presidium propose Erik Sommer (Denmark) as President (new) and Ingo Goerke (Germany) as the Finance Director (as before). A position as IISHF Vice-President will then be open. According to the IISHF Constitution 12.3 the Presidium members must all reside in different countries. So in that case a new Presidium member must come from either Austria, Great Britain, Israel, Netherland, Poland, Russia or Switzerland.&#13;

			<link>http://www.iishf.com/article.php?artID=182</link>
			<description>Porn Valley Chiefs from Austrian won the 7. Br&amp;auml;unlingen Inlinehockey Festival Men B-Tournament in Germany which took place in the weekend of July 25-26, 2009. In the final the Austrian team won 3-2 after penalty shootout over the host team Br&amp;auml;unlingen. Tournament website http://www.hotdogsweb.de&#13;
&#13;
In the Youth U16 final Anacondas Br&amp;auml;unlingen won 4-1 over Samurai Iserlohn. Both teams from Germany.&#13;
&#13;
Attached please find Tournament Results from the Men and the Youth U16 tournament.&#13;
&#13;
Information from the tournament (in German):&#13;
Comeback des IHF &amp;uuml;bertrifft alle erhofften Erwartungen! &#13;
&#13;
Br&amp;auml;unlingen. Die Spielst&amp;auml;tte der Hotdogs, die Sporthalle Br&amp;auml;unlingen, hat die Reifepr&amp;uuml;fung als Austragungsort f&amp;uuml;r internationale Anl&amp;auml;sse mit Bravour bestanden! Das 7. Br&amp;auml;unlinger Inlinehockey Festival, welches am vergangenen Wochenende in der kleinen Stadt im Schwarzwald stattfand, lockte zahlreiche Skaterhockeyspieler aus ganz Europa und viele Zuschauer in die Z&amp;auml;hringerstadt. Neben zwei Party`s, die dem Besucher vom HCB geboten wurden und gut besucht waren, stand nat&amp;uuml;rlich der sportliche Wettkampf am Turnierwochenende im Mittelpunkt des Interesses. &#13;
&#13;
Auf dem Aussenplatz, der fr&amp;uuml;heren Spielfl&amp;auml;che der Hotdogs, fand ein mit 7 Teams besetztes Hobbyturnier statt, in welchem von Samstagvormittag bis Sonntagnachmittag etliche, spannende Spiele geboten wurden. Im Finale des Hobbyturniers standen die Krefeld Piranhas den sicher mit einer kleiner Favoritenrolle gebundenen Nimburg Crocodiles gegen&amp;uuml;ber. Die Krokodile aus der N&amp;auml;he Freiburgs konnten dann ihren Vorschusslorbeeren auch gerecht werden und den Aussenplatz-Cup f&amp;uuml;r sich entscheiden. &#13;
&#13;
Keine Frage, dieses Turnier im Freien war ein wichtiger Bestandteil eines gelungenen 7. IHF, denn damit konnte man den besonderen Flair fr&amp;uuml;herer Tage weiterf&amp;uuml;hren. Was jedoch im Inneren der Sporthalle &amp;uuml;ber die beiden Tage geboten wurde bzw. zu verfolgen war, stellte das Geschehen auf dem Aussenplatz dann doch recht deutlich in den Schatten. Denn hier steppte der B&amp;auml;r noch ein paar Schlagzahlen h&amp;ouml;her und nahezu jedes Spiel, egal ob eines des Jugendturniers oder eines der Herrengruppe, bot Skaterhockey auf absolutem Topniveau. Da war es nur gut, dass auch die sechsk&amp;ouml;pfige Schiedsrichterriege, angef&amp;uuml;hrt von Sascha Strachowitz von den Duisburg Ducks, durchweg gut besetzt war und mit einer klaren Linie zwei hochinteressante Wettk&amp;auml;mpfe leitete. Allen Offiziellen an dieser Stelle nochmals ein herzliches Dankesch&amp;ouml;n f&amp;uuml;r ihre Teilnahme in Br&amp;auml;unlingen! &#13;
&#13;
Sowohl im Bereich des Nachwuchses, als auch im Seniorenbereich, konnte der HCB mit einem packenden Teilnehmerfeld aufwarten, kamen insgesamt ganze 5 Nationen in den Schwarzwald, um den jeweiligen Turniersieg zu erringen. Im Jugendturnier spielten die englischen G&amp;auml;ste der Boremhamwood Crusaders eine sehr gute Rolle und wurden letztlich Dritter von 6. Im Finale um den Nachwuchstitel kam es zur gro&amp;szlig;en Freude vieler Br&amp;auml;unlinger zu einem Endspiel mit Beteiligung des HCB. Jedoch blieb es nicht allein bei der Teilnahme der Anacondas, vielmehr gelang es dem von Sebastian Lautemann trainierten Nachwuchsteam, im Finale deutlich mit 4:1 gegen die Samurai Iserlohn zu gewinnen. Kai Herpich und David Lademann feierten somit einen Abschied, wie er sch&amp;ouml;ner h&amp;auml;tte wohl kaum sein k&amp;ouml;nnen. Beide Nachwuchscracks verlassen den HCB leider: W&amp;auml;hrend Lademann mit seiner Familie nach Frankfurt zieht, zieht es Herpich nach Berlin, wo er zu den Eisb&amp;auml;ren Juniors wechselt. Beiden Spielern w&amp;uuml;nschen wir f&amp;uuml;r ihre Zukunft alles Gute und auf das sie irgendwann einmal nach Br&amp;auml;unlingen zur&amp;uuml;ckkehren m&amp;ouml;gen... &#13;
&#13;
Und dann war da noch das Endspiel um den Herren-Cup. Und es war wieder einmal ein Endspiel, das wie so viele vorangegangene Finals eines IHF in Erinnerung bleiben wird. Der dreimalige Sieger des Festivals, Gastgeber Hotdogs Br&amp;auml;unlingen, hatte es auch diesmal geschafft, im Endspiel zu stehen. Das war keine Selbstverst&amp;auml;ndlichkeit, denn egal, ob es die holl&amp;auml;ndischen Tilburg Bumpers, die Boremhamwood Crusaders aus England, das Team Kobra Brwinow aus Polen, die deutschen G&amp;auml;ste der Berlin Buffalos oder der Endspielgegner aus &amp;Ouml;sterreich, die PornValley Chiefs, gewesen w&amp;auml;ren, die den anderen Platz im Final erreicht h&amp;auml;tten, allen stand gestandene Konkurrenz gegen&amp;uuml;ber und so wurde jedes Spiel zu seinem eigenen Highlight. Nun also das Deutsch-&amp;ouml;sterreichische Finale zwischen den Hotdogs und den Porn Valley Chiefs: Nach 24 gespielten Minuten (Modus 2x12 Minuten) stand es 1:1 und ein nervenaufreibendes Penalty-Schiessen musste die Entscheidung herbeif&amp;uuml;hren. Nachdem alle f&amp;uuml;nf planm&amp;auml;&amp;szlig;igen Duelle keinen Sieger hervorgebracht hatten, war es im sechsten Anlauf der &amp;ouml;sterreichische Nationalspieler Martin Grabher-Maier, der einnetzte, wohingegen Br&amp;auml;unlingen`s Stefan Ziegler im Duell mit dem &amp;ouml;sterreichischen Schlussmann den K&amp;uuml;rzeren zog. Nach einem hei&amp;szlig;en Schlagabtausch war der Gastgeber der Unterlegene von zwei auf Augenh&amp;ouml;he befindlichen Finalteilnehmern... &#13;
&#13;
Der Hockeyclub Br&amp;auml;unlingen e.V. bedankt sich nochmals bei allen 18 Teams, die am 7. IHF teilgenommen haben und dieses Comeback nach 3 Jahren Unterbrechung zu einem denkw&amp;uuml;rdigen Ereignis machten. Weiterer Dank geht erneut an die ISHD-Schiedsrichter, die einen sehr guten Job verrichteten und daf&amp;uuml;r sorgten, dass alle Teams die Regeln der IISHF einhielten. Nicht zu vergessen sind alle Sponsoren, Freunde und G&amp;ouml;nner des HCB, ohne die das 7. IHF niemals stattfinden h&amp;auml;tte k&amp;ouml;nnen. Und nicht zuletzt noch eine Danksagung an alle Fans, die sich am vergangenen Wochenende am Festivalgel&amp;auml;nde einfanden und ihren Teil zu einem wirklich gelungenen Turnier beitrugen. &#13;
&#13;
Zuletzt ein kleiner Ausblick auf 2010: Nach derzeitiger Planung wird das 8. Br&amp;auml;unlinger Inlinehockey Festival am Wochenende des 23. Bis 25. Juli des kommenden Jahres stattfinden. Wir k&amp;ouml;nnen es schon jetzt kaum mehr erwarten, euch alle in unserem kleinen St&amp;auml;dtchen im Schwarzwald hoffentlich wieder begr&amp;uuml;&amp;szlig;en zu d&amp;uuml;rfen...</description>
