This in turn made the UCI /ACC having issued an instruction to all members NF to integrate Para-cycling within their NF. Looking back into the past 3-4 years since its instruction for the integration, frankly speaking, we may by no means be satisfied with the process of its integration within the NF, especially at the level of the ACC and NF. The UCT has been more or less successful with its transfer of Para-cycling into the UCI itself, whilst the integrations at the ACC and NF have been seen as less practical and successful. ‘As you are aware, a few NF have well integrated it within them, but the rest have not, except for when they give their consents on the riders’ application for entries to the World Para~ cycling Championships, Para-cycling World Cups and/or the Para-Olympics submitted by what is called “the Para-cycling Federations” of their corresponding countries, which have practically administered governance over Para-cycling affaires in their countries, apart from our NF. Even for the Asian Para-Games, the Asian Paralympic Committee (APC) was in full governance and administration of Para-cycling. It has been a reality still both at the ACC and NF, most regrettable though. In an effort to convert the current situation regarding Para-cycling, stressing again that all NF should exert more effort to integrate Para-cycling more effectively within their NF at an earliest convenience, the ACC would like to know what situation/difficulty each of our member NF has been facing with its integration of Para-cycling within it, and how to improve its integration process better than now. Please answer to the ACC with your information on the aforementioned questions No Later Than 10"Jan, 2011. Your replies would be highly appreciated. wm oe Fe NO Cho, Hee Wook, ACC President .C.: Mr. Vatche Zadourian, Chairman of ACC Para-cycling Committee _felicyc’ com
