Better Way Principles
At a Sport Matters meeting on September 8, 2009 participants looked at a number of issues and opportunities for the future of sport – including the 2010 and Beyond Panel. Victor Lachance and David Brook from the Panel Secretariat were present at the meeting. They noted that during the course of the day participants involved in two break-out tables identified several fundamental principles and key characteristics that should be included in the design and structure of the future governance and leadership of high performance. The discussions included such principles and characteristics as:

• Streamlined: the one-window concept where sport organizations can have one central point of services and funding
• Independence of the governance structure and of the decision-making process
• Transparency
• Responsiveness: for timely, flexible decision making
• Targeted resources: concentrate resources where there is greatest likelihood of success
• Accountability based on results, outcomes.

More Roundtables
The 2010 and Beyond panel has restructured the original plan for 3 roundtables in order to increase the number to five. This will be able to accommodate more people while maintaining a practical number of participants for each roundtable, where the Panel hopes to have open and engaging discussions about the future of high-performance sport. The new roundtable schedule is as follows:

OTTAWA September 24, 2009

MONTREAL September 29, 2009

CALGARY October 6, 2009

Based on some of the questions received to date you may find the following information helpful in preparing your submission to the Panel.

1. While the Panel wishes to receive submissions that respond to the six questions not all questions need to be answered.

2. Your submission can contain additional material if it fits within the five page maximum length for submissions.
