2. Information & Correspondence by MTC members

3. Motions from both ART TC's to the EC
The MTC reviewed the motions sent by both TC's to the EC. Comments:
a) The MTC supports the proposal that the position of reference judge counts as a position in a
competition counted against a country's allotment of E jury judges.
b) Eliminate "after passing examination" from the verbiage in the Special International Judges'
Course proposal.
c) Addition: The EC must discuss and finalize the amount of medals to be awarded when a total of
seven gymnasts participate in a World Championship as part of a team (Comp. I & IV).
