  2. committed to serving table tennis in the region from now until the next regional elections in 2005;
  3. in serving table tennis, to be committed to the further development of the sport in all countries in the region and in all aspects (coaching, player development, administration, refereeing, technical delegates, classifiers);
  4. able to communicate in English as this is the official language of the IPC and ITTC;
  5. able to develop good communication with all countries in the region and with the ITTC.

  1. the voting be conducted by secret ballot on forms supplied by the secretary of the General Assembly;
  2. the assembly will appoint independent scrutineers to count the votes – independent meaning not being a candidate;
  3. the nominee polling the highest number of votes will be declared elected;
  4. should there be an equality of votes, there will be a re-vote for the relevant two nominees to break the tie;
  5. the result will be declared (without revealing the number of votes polled by each candidate) by the chairperson;
