Status: Voting from February 21, 2026 to March 03, 2026
Background
See discussion on World Record Certificates. I have split the proposals as per Simon's request
Proposal
Old rule: none
New rule:
Section 1.5 of the IUF World Record Guidelines is deleted, and replaced with the following:
Section 1.10 Record keeping
1. The IUF will publish current records on the IUF website
2. The IUF will archive former records and make them available on the IUF website
3. World records set prior to establishment of the IUF World Record Guidelines or under earlier versions of the IUF World Record Guidelines may not be directly comparable to those set under the current guidelines. These world records are marked accordingly on the IUF website.
4. World records set prior to establishment of the IUF World Record Guidelines, or under earlier versions of the IUF World Record Guidelines, can be recertified upon submission of evidence that complies with the current IUF World Record Guidelines and thus listed without marking.
5. The IUF will keep previous editions of The IUF Rulebook and IUF World Record Guidelines and make them available on the IUF website.
Body
The IUF currently only publishes current records.
Former records are important to chart the progression of our sport, and needs to be archived and available for people to view.
