The IOC Secretariat does not at any time determine if a nomination is valid. It is the Nominations Committee established on the first day of the Assembly that will determine the validity of a candidature. The function of the Committee is solely to accept and forward all nominations to the Assembly, while ensuring that the procedures laid down in the IOC Rules of Procedure Appendix I are strictly adhered to. The Nominations Committee does not enter into any negotiations about a candidate or candidates in electoral groups. 

This page is for the information of Member States before the Assembly and will be closed when the Nominations Committee is established at the beginning of the IOC Assembly session.
