Recently friendly negotiations between the IDO and IDSF
- It will remain an independent neutral organization, affiliated equally with both the World Dance Council (WDC) and the World Dance Sport Federation (WDSF)
IDO will remain an independent Federation within the newly planned WORLD DANCE SPORT FEDERATION (WDSF)
Confirming email from the IDO Senior Vice President Jörn Storbraten to the IDFS President Carlos Freitag after their talks in Barcelona on August 24, 2010.
Dear Carlos!
Thank you for a very good and friendly talk in Barcelona.
In my opinion we understand each other much better now and it is much easier for me to present the visions to the IDO members.
The most important thing we agreed on was that each organization will stay independent with its own Presidium, rules, by-laws and finances. I know this has been discussed heavily and I am very happy we agreed on this.
As you said people are afraid that IDSF will take over the other organizations and I am very happy when you stated that this not was what IDSF wants.
I am sure we will have many more meetings and continue our work in the same nice and friendly atmosphere.
I know you are in Korea now. Please say hello to my friend Lou Panku.
I will come back to you with more details about the World Games in 2013 very soon.
Best regards
Jørn
