Dear all,
For your information: The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) is the
global governing body of the Paralympic Movement. The IPC organizes the
Summer and Winter Paralympic Games, and serves as the International
Federation for 13 sports, for which it supervises and co-ordinates the World
Championships and other competitions. The IPC is committed to enabling
Paralympic athletes to achieve sporting excellence and to developing sport
opportunities for all persons with a disability from the beginner to elite
level. In addition, the IPC aims to promote the Paralympic values, which
include courage, determination, inspiration and equality.
Founded on 22 September 1989, the IPC is an international non-profit
organization formed and run by 162 National Paralympic Committees (NPCs) from
five regions and four disability specific international sports federations
(IOSDs). The IPC Headquarters and its management team (currently approx. 30)
are located in Bonn, Germany.
In different locations on our website you can find statements that could be
read as "mission statements" relating to the IPC Documentation Centre
(archives, library, exhibition) and to Records Management, for which I am
also responsible. For the moment, we chose "Information Management" as a
cover term.

One of IPC's strategic goal is:

valued.

sporting environment, instantly understood by the general public and the
media and valued by partners.

/2006_05_Strategic_Plan_2006_2009_final.pdf, p. 9)
Another strategic goal can also be interpreted as having a relation to RM
practices:
"#1 - High-performing organization
The IPC is a high performing democratic sporting organization that abides by
its values and is dedicated to excellence.

strategic direction, which supports reliable operations.
