Talk:Global Association of International Sports Federations

Requested move
General Association of International Sports Federations → SportAccord — The name of the organization has changed. "Newly renamed SportAccord, the former General Association of International Sports Federations (GAISF) is going to face its new ambitions." DigitalC (talk) 20:47, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Requested creation

Another request here. How about the SportAccord's first World Mind Games? This is different from the World Mind SPORTS Games, which is administered by the International Mind Sports Association (IMSA). Also, the first edition is going to be held in Beijing in December 2011.

Liquidation
https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1140786/gaisf-liquidation

The liquidation process of the Global Association of International Sports Federations (GAISF) is officially complete after an Extraordinary General Assembly (EGA) today.

Last November, 70 GAISF members voted in favour of dissolving the umbrella body in Lausanne, with 22 going against it.

Following the decision, Swiss firm Ernst & Young were appointed to complete the proceedings, including the distribution of the GAISF's CHF5.66 million (£5.07 million/$6.3 million/€5.9 million) fortune.

Proposal to rename to SportAccord
Although it's kind of a different institution, because of the close interrelation between GAISF and SportAccord, I suggest to rename this article to SportAccord, and amend it accordingly, while keeping the info about GAISF as part of the history.

Otherwise, it could be useful to create an article about SportAccord and de-link it from this article about GAISF, because for the moment SportAccord redirects here.

I prefer the first option, though. Harry Deconstructing (talk) 17:48, 2 January 2024 (UTC)


 * @Harry Deconstructing From the recent view, that SportAccord (as a redirect) is listed at Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2024_June_20. Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 03:29, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
