Below is the relevant part of a letter submitted IUF Revitalization Committee Chairman Ken Fuchs and to the IUF Board of Directors on March 15, 1992.
In pursuit of my suggestions for revitalizing the IUF sent to you in September 29, 1991, I hereby enclose a detailed proposal for establishing a worldwide network of national and regional representatives of the IUF.
To achieve our goal of promoting unicycling throughout the world, I believe that it is important that we appoint National and Regional Representatives for as many countries and regions as possible. I propose that these should be official offices of the IUF, and that a basic definition of these posts be included in the IUF by-laws. The principal tasks of an IUF representative includes organizing national teams to UNICONs, recruiting IUF members, disseminating IUF related information, and helping establish national unicycling organizations.
I invite IUF Revitalization Committee members and other IUF officers and members to examine my proposal and make constructive suggestions or criticisms. The time limit for examining this proposal is April 30, 1992. If I don't hear from you by that time, I will assume that you agree to its contents. Of course, changes can also be made at a later date, but I will begin to implement the initial stage of the plan on May 1, 1992.
