Until 2021, WADA was registering members based on their country or representative body, and when there was a member change, the new member would only fulfill the remainder of the previous member’s three year term in effect. This was incorrect. Three-year terms now start on the day WADA is advised of a change in membership, which may not always take effect at the beginning of a calendar year as was previously the case. Given this shift in practice, some terms still appear to be aligned with the calendar year (where there has been no member change prior to the three-year term ending), whereas members who have changed prior to the three-year term ending will have a different term start and end date, depending on when they were appointed during the year.It is important to note that notwithstanding the above, as concerns Public Authorities, each region is responsible for the process of appointing its representatives to the Foundation Board. Similarly, the Sport Movement, Athlete Council and National Anti-Doping Organizations also determine the appointment of their representatives. WADA recognizes that members may be replaced before the end of a three-year term based on long-standing rotation agreements or positions held within their country or representative body, however, the start and end dates of terms are reflected as three years in duration (as indicated in the table above), in accordance with WADA ’s Statutes. The total number of years of service on the Foundation Board for certain members goes beyond the nine-year limit due to a transition rule in effect between 2021 and 2023 following the first round of governance reforms. However, they will never exceed 12 years as a member. Oceania Representatives Page 2 / 2
