			<description>1. IISHF member countries that are suspended for participating in tournaments 2012&#13;
Poland has been suspended since last year and as long as their outstanding payments have not been completely paid, no team of Poland shall be allowed to take part at any international (A and/or B) event.&#13;
&#13;
Canada, Poland and Pakistan has not yet paid their membership fees for 2012 and in case of non-payment within the next 30 days they will be suspended and no team from those countries shall be allowed to take part at any international (A and/or B) event.&#13;
&#13;
2. Request for special permit for German player for the U13 European Cup&#13;
The Youth Team of HC K&amp;ouml;ln-West Rheinos is qualified to participate at the U16 European Cup 2012. The German Federation has received an application from the German club about the use of a specific player. The player is named Marcel Baer, born 16.06.1994. Because of a nephropathy disease the boy is much smaller than other children of his age and the German national association (ISHD) gave him a special permit to participate in last year Youth-Championships in Germany. The German Federation has provided IISHF with sufficient documentation including a detailed report of the doctor and some photos showing him and other player of his team. For him it is his lifetime dream to play this event and the German Federation hope it is possible to allow him to participate. They mentioned that it is the same situation like the pee-wee-player Marcel Sch&amp;ouml;nke-Bienefeld from Kaarst and so they hope we may manage it in the same way.&#13;
&#13;
The IISHF Presidium is favor of providing a special permit for the German player to participate in the U16 European Cup but we need to have the acceptance from the NMA?s before we can grant the special permission. So if any NMA?s will not accept the special permission to be given then please inform us within 2 weeks. Deadline Sunday May 13, 2012.&#13;

5. Request for special permit for German player for the U13 European Cup&#13;
The Pee-Wee-Team of Crash Eagles Kaarst is qualified to participate in the U13 European Cup 2012. The German Federation has received an application from the German club about a handicapped player (back-up goalie). The player is named Marcel Sch&amp;ouml;nke-Bienefeld, born 14.01.1998. Because of a heart disease the boy is much smaller than other children of his age and the German national association (ISHD) gave him a special permit to participate in last year Pee-Wee-Championships in Germany. The German Federation is asking for a special permit for the above mentioned player to play the European Cup U 13. He will be back-up goalie and for him it is a very important thing to be part of the team, even if he in all probability will not play. If it would help the German Federation may produce an attestation about his disease and send some photos if needed. The IISHF Presidium is favor of providing a special permit for the German player to participate in the U13 European Cup but we need to have the acceptance from the NMA's before we can grant the special permission. So if any NMA's will not accept the special permission to be given then please inform us within 3 weeks. Deadline Monday March 12, 2012.&#13;

			<description>1. Canada will not participate in the Men Open European Championship Team Canada has in the very last moment cancelled their participation at the upcoming Men Open European Championship 2011 September 9-11, 2011 in Stegersbach, Austria. This is very sad news and a big disaster for International Inline-Skaterhockey and our plans to expand the sport with new members in this case from North Amercia. The IISHF Presidium has made many attempts to ensure that Canada would come but with very short notice Team Canada decided due to financial constraints to cancel their participation.&#13;
&#13;
According to the IISHF Regulations this non-participation will now have severe consequences for Canada. The IISHF Presidium will discuss this matter and the future IISHF Structure with the member countries at the EGM 2011 in Stegersbach.&#13;
&#13;
We apologize for the inconvenience that this announcement will have for the participating teams and especially the difficulities that it has created for the hosting club Tigers Stegersbach. &#13;

&#13;

&#13;

&#13;
2. Request for the Veterans/Old Boys European Cup 2012 or 2013&#13;
BISHA has indicated an interest in hosting the Veterans/Old Boys European Cup in 2013. The tournament would most likely take place in Bisley which is within short distance from Heathrow Airport in London. The requirement for hosting an IISHF Title Event for clubteams is participation from minimum 3 countries with in total a minimum of 8 teams. In order to go ahead with their plans to host the tournament BISHA wants to have a feedback from the other member countries about their intent to participate and if so with how many teams. Deadline for reply is September 7, 2011 (4 weeks).&#13;
&#13;
Similar has Copenhagen Vikings shown in interest in hosting the Veterans/Old Boys European Cup already in 2012 after they won the first National Championship in Denmark in this age category on July 30, 2011. The same requirement applies here so in order to go ahead with their plans to host the tournament DRsU-Skaterhockey (Denmark) wants to have a feedback from the other member countries about their intent to participate and if so with how many teams. Deadline for reply is September 7, 2011 (4 weeks).&#13;
&#13;
3. Incident at the European Cup for Men 2011&#13;
There was a very chaotic ending to the final game and the following Presentation Ceremony of the European Cup for Men 2011 in Essen, Germany on July 10, 2011. IISHF is currently handling a disciplinary case regarding the action of an IISHF Referee at the end of the final game and the behaviour of some of the participating teams at the Presentation Ceremony. It's our firm belief that's it's in the best interest of the skaterhockey community that our Title Events takes place in a sportive exciting but also in a fair and friendly atmosphere.&#13;
