The ASOIF recommendation, adopted yesterday at SportAccord in Seoul, will be one of several considered by the IOC in the next couple of months.
IOC members, federations, national Olympic committees and athletes are unhappy with the process used last year that led to the elimination of baseball and softball and a failure to add any one of five sports proposed as replacements, reports aroundtherings.com
As a result, the programme for the 2012 Olympics will feature only 26 sports.
IOC president Jacques Rogge said that the executive board could consider changes to the Olympic programme review at its June meeting. The changes would then be subject to approval a year later at the IOC Session in Guatemala.
The fourth annual SportAccord Convention in Seoul will see more than 800 delegates attend the event that runs until Friday at the South Korean capital's Grand InterContinental Hotel.
Yesterday saw the opening of the two-day conference, which focuses on two breakout themes – 'Staging a Successful Major Event' and 'Financing and Promoting a Sport'.
It was also the first of three days of the SportAccord exhibition featuring more than 60 exhibitors, including governing bodies, organising committees, bidding cities and commercial organisations.
