IVF should accept Italian Paddlers under Italian Federation of Va'a

Please sign this petition to help Italian paddlers to race under their New Italian Federation of Va'a (IFV) (ex FICPO ex IVF Italy) national controlling authority for the speciality of Va'a. Please read the full story on the petition letter.

In 1998 Canottieri Comunali Firenze (in the person of Mr. Ceri and Mr Giancarlo Miolla) apply to be member of IVF and got the membership. In 2002 Italian paddlers got together and change the name in FICPO (Federazione Italiana Canoa Polinesiana Outrigger).

In 2005 Mr Chales Villerme ask us to chage the name FICPO as it didn contain the word Va'a. So FICPO became IVF Italia.

Since 1998 we regularly pay the IVF membership and in 2016 the Italian IVF delegate Mr Danilo Araldo decide to pass our IVF Membership to FICK without the permission of Italian Paddlers associated under the name FICPO/IVF Italy

The only person that move out from IVF Italia to move to FICK is Mr Danilo Araldo, but it is not him in person that was paying since 1998 the Membership to IVF, but was FICPO first and IVF Italia from 1998 until 2016. All documents were sent to Lara Collins.

Italian Paddlers associated under IVF Italia, in december 2016 after the move of Danilo Araldo to other body decide to rename the association in New Italian Federation of Va'a (IFV) and opening to all clubs in Italy

The IVF membership is not personal but of the national controlling authority in the case of Italy since 1998 FICPO/IVF ITALIA/New Italian Federation of Va'a (IFV).

In 2017 New Italian Fedeation of Va'a (IFV) payed the IVF membership and nominated a new IVF delegate for Italy, Mr Roberto Spigoli.

The only recognization that we asked is the change of the name (already approuved one change from former president in 2005) and in the IVF by Laws there is no mention of rules concerning the change of the name of the national controlling authority, so we can change without having problems with the IVF org.

So as we are NOT new applicant but member as far as 1998, by the IVF by Laws art 5.1 Eligibility “Current IVF members are still recognized”

As by the IVF by Laws art 5.6 Termination We never received by IVF any cancellation letter or suspension letter since 1998.

But Lara Collins, President of IVF send us a mail saying that she want recognise FICK and not us, not taking into account that:

1. we are member since1998 (FICK never payed membership until 2016)

2. we have got 6 paddlers registred, since november 2016, at the World Distance Championship (june 2017) 3 of them have already payed 1800USD each of air ticket and do not want to pass under FICK as they do not recognised FICK as the Italian national controlling authority for the speciality of Va'a.

3. FICPO/IVF ITALIA/New Italian Federation of Va'a (IFV) has organized in the past 2 European IVF Championship in 2011 and 2012 (present Mr Jerome) and regularly payed the fee of organization for a total of USD 2500
