Under the leadership of Commission Chairman Hein Verbruggen, the members of the Commission will meet with their Beijing Organising Committee (BOCOG) counterparts ‘to fully understand the state of BOCOG’s progress as the Games approach and also to review the lessons learned, so far, from the ‘Good Luck Beijing Sports Events’ that have already taken place’, the International Olympic Committee said in a press release.
Some members of the Commission will also pay a visit to Hong Kong in order to get a first-hand view of the venues that will be used during the Beijing 2008 equestrian events.
Following on directly from the Coordination Commission meetings, the IOC and BOCOG, in partnership with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), will hold the 7th World Conference on Sport and the Environment in Beijing.
