Dear Sports colleagues,
As agreed at the IPF-Congress in Stavanger / Norway 2006 we have build up a Lifters Commission and a Coach Commission. The member nations have sent their member proposals to me. After completing the list the proposed commission members have selected within their group the speaker.
If you have ideas, questions, strategic visions, how to improve and develop our sport, please do not hesitate and contact the members of the Lifters Commission and Coach Commission. They will discuss your suggestions and present a conclusion to the IPF-Executive and the IPF-Committees.
These both commissions are an improvement for our sport and please use the opportunity to contact the members. You can also contact all other members of the Committees, when you have an idea etc.
Thank you very much for your support.
Best wishes

IPF General Secretary
"World Police & Fire Games, Adelaide Australia March 2007.
All IPF nations, lifters & officials should note this is not
an IPF run or sanctioned event. The IPF has been advised that athletes or
officials under suspension will be allowed to participate in the
Powerlifting events at the Games. The Powerlifting events have been called
"Bench Press" & "Push Pull". Any IPF lifter or official taking part in
these Games thus runs the risk of contravening the IPF rules regarding
participation in non-sanctioned events & against suspended lifters or
officials. The IPF strongly advises lifters & officials to not participate
in these Games".
Special sponsorship/award of ER Equipment Denmark
Erik Rasmussen informed us that ER Equipment
Denmark gives each Best Women & Men Team (together) at the World Bench Press
Championships in Thisted / Denmark and the Men’s and Women’s World
Championships in Soelden / Austria a Squat & Benchpress rack with safety
stands.
This is a very generous sponsorship/award of ER Equipment and the IPF
Executive appreciates this idea.
To win this attractive award I call the member nations to send a complete
Women and Men team to the World Championships.

Dear All,
In a recent issue of Powerlifting USA Magazine, a full page advertisement by one of our leading licensees, illustrates and describes A ( POWER - RATCHET BELT ).
This type of fastening was rejected by both the Technical Committee and Executive Committee approximately two and a half years ago, on the grounds that it was considered unsafe/dangerous to the lifter should an emergency arise and would need to be removed quickly. Therefore, it must be recognised that ( POWER - RATCHET BELT ) is illegal for use in IPF Competition.

Chairman
A few days prior to the World Games in Duisburg IPF President Norbert Wallauch has been awarded with one of the highest decorations of the Republic of Austria: the "Decoration of Honour in Gold for Services to the Republic of Austria", classified as the Knight's Cross 1st class. The adjudgement has been made by the President of the Federal Republic of Austria, Dr. Heinz Fischer, the presentation of the order by the States Secretary for Sports, Mag. Karl Schweitzer.
Norbert Wallauch was honoured for almost five decades being involved into sports, as a successfull hammer thrower, weightlifter and since 1961 as a powerlifter. He was and still is a member of several sports boards in Austria, founder and long time President of the Austrian Powerlifting Federation and from 1999 on President of the International Powerlifting Federation, the only Austrian to conduct an international sports federation.
As a many years sports editor of "Kronen Zeitung", the biggest daily newspaper in his country with almost 3 million (!) readers, he reported from
8 Olympic Games and numerous other big sports events and is now a highly esteemed Sportombudsman who cares on everybody in sport who feels to be badly treated.
Congratulations, Norbert! Your decoration is a big honour for your personal merits as well as for our sport Powerlifting.
