Statement from the INAS Secretariat: As you will be aware, at the request of the INAS/IPC Joint Working Group, a panel of psychologists are currently reviewing the files of every athlete registered for INAS competition.
To date, more than 1300 files have been reviewed, and a further 500 are due to be checked in the next few days. Wherever possible, athletes attending the forthcoming Global Games have been prioritised.
In addition to the review, we are also processing around 120 new applications, and these must also be reviewed as part of the above process before a registration number can be issued.
This involves a huge amount of work, and the Secretariat is working hard to complete the task as quickly and efficiently as possible. Member nations are being informed of the outcome of the review as soon as is possible.
During this time, we would appreciate your patience, as e-mails and telephone queries may take longer to answer than normal.

As part of the Action Plan developed by the INAS/IPC Joint Working Group, and endorsed by the INAS General Assembly in Puerto Rico, it has been agreed that a review of all Athlete Registration papers will be conducted during May 2009.
The review will be undertaken by the Secretariat and all evidence (ie. IQ and Adaptive Behaviour reports) will be assessed by a registered psychologist.
We will confirm the outcome of this review to each country as soon as possible, but appreciate your patience, whilst this task is conducted.

INAS-FID endorses London 2012 action plan
At INAS-FID's biennial General Assembly which took place in Puerto Rico on 25 April, the membership gave its unanimous support to the action plan developed by the IPC/INAS-FID joint working group and authorised the INAS-FID Executive to take whatever steps are reasonable to secure Paralympic re-inclusion. This decision followed a full and frank discussion of all that the action plan requires during the previous day's international conference. There is still much work to be done before the IPC General Assembly meets in November but, with both parties clearly committed to making it happen, a favourable outcome is now a reasonable expectation.
