The IAAF has appointed Pierre Weiss as its acting General Secretary following the death earlier this month of Istvan Gyulai.
General Director Weiss will assume the role until the next IAAF Congress in 2007 – just prior to the World Championships in Osaka.
The decision was taken on day one of a two-day IAAF Council meeting in the Japanese city.
Weiss, who has been General Director since 1991 with particular responsibility for events and marketing, worked in close association with Gyulai over the past 15 years.
