of the ITF pursuant to a conduct or disciplinary process under any ITF code or
policy or by any other tennis organisation including National Associations, the
Grand Slam Committee, Women's Tennis Association and Association of Tennis
Professionals.
The ITF Executive Director reserves the right in his absolute discretion to share
information concerning any complaint against a covered person with and/or conduct
an investigation in conjunction with any other tennis organisation or any other
relevant authorities. The ITF Executive Director may also refer the complaint and/or
any information received during the course of investigating an allegation or
