International Relations Group

Last Updated: 29.12.2022

The International Relations Group is a BF Working Group.

Any meetings of the larger International Relations Group (IRG) are chaired by the President, who has a casting vote.  The group comprises:

• All members of the International Relations Committee (the IRC)
• All current BF post-holders on FIE and EFC Executives, Commissions and Councils

Group members are invited to attend the annual BF Rules Committee meeting, usually preceding the annual FIE Congress with a focus on proposals for changes to the statutes and rules.  Group members may also be consulted from time to time regarding any issues relating to their specific commission or council.
