Governance Changes for World Taekwondo - Federation Focus 04/21/21
(ATR) Major amendments to the statutes of World Taekwondo will be going to the federation’s general assembly for an electronic vote.
World Taekwondo president Chongwun Choue (ATR)
The World Taekwondo Council approved the revision of the statutes this week. Age limits and term limits have been placed on elected positions.
Elected officials will only be able to serve a maximum of three consecutive terms before a break of at least four years. They are also limited to accumulatively serving a maximum of three terms in any one position.
The count of terms served begins after the reforms are passed, so Chungwon Choue can run for a fifth term as president later this year.
