How We Operate - What We Do: The Athlete Commissionʼs Primary responsibility is to report directly to the F.I.S Council with specific suggestions and/or direction in regards to matters that are considered General in Nature and that are in the best interest of all F.I.S Athletes. The Athlete Commissionʼs scope can be said to be General and Global; it does not represent the specific interests of individual Disciplines and/or Nations. The Athlete Commission also has a Secondary responsibility to provide a voice and a pathway for Athletes and Disciplines to directly engage the F.I.S Discipline Committees and sub-Committees. The Athlete Commission understands that although Discipline specific matters are not handled at the Commission level; members of the Athlete

Commission do, however, have an official pathway to their Discipline Committees and sub-Committees and are given voting rights within the given framework of these committees. This secondary role/responsibility, that we shall call “Athlete Commission Discipline Delegates”, represents a body and/or function that can be said to run below or parallel to the primary roles and responsibilities of the Athlete Commission.

Our Strategic Priorities - What We Are Working On For You: 1. Rights, Roles, Responsibilities, Limitations and Authority of the F.I.S Athlete Commission 2. Protection and Support for Severely Injured Athletes 3. Protection of Athletes Rights Via External 3rd Party Arbitration 4.
