ITFWORLD WINTER 2014 5 www.itftennis.com KEY DECISIONS FROM DUBAI There will be a cumulative 12-year term limit for the ITF President and members of the ITF Board of Directors, effective from the date of the 2015 AGM. Starting after the 2015 assembly, the post of Executive Vice President will be removed from the ITF Board, although the position of Chief Operating Officer will remain in place. From 1 January 2015, a player may only play for one country in Davis Cup, Fed Cup, Hopman Cup or the Olympics. This rule will be applied retrospectively, so if a player has already represented a country at senior level, they cannot move to represent another country. A player will be deemed to have represented a country if they have accepted a nomination to represent that country in the ITF's senior international team competitions or the Olympics. The rules governing the specification of wheelchairs used in wheelchair tennis competition will be moved from the Wheelchair Regulations into the Rules of Tennis. There will be a change to the ITF Constitution to consolidate the existing anti-doping related obligations of National Associations, in order to assist the ITF's anti-doping efforts and contribute towards making the programme compliant with the 2015 WADA Code. The AGM voted for an increase from one to three shares for Belarus, Kuwait and Sri Lanka.
