Discutimos também várias questões técnicas da ITKF que precisam ser revistas, e todo este trabalho será apresentado e proposto ao longo das assembleias. Todos os dias, teremos uma reunião do comitê técnico antes de iniciar os cursos, com isso faremos os ajustes inerentes à cada etapa do trabalho. Ao fim do dia, acontece a reunião do comitê diretor, na qual definiremos as questões administrativas”, explicou o dirigente.

“We made the classification and standardization of the courses that will be offered in the next days to our affiliates. We also discussed various ITKF technical issues that need to be reviewed, and all of this work will be presented and proposed throughout the meetings. Every day, we will have a meeting of the technical committee before starting the courses, so we will make the adjustments inherent in each step of the work. At the end of the day, there will be a meeting of the steering committee, in which we will define the administrative issues”, explained Gaertner.
