Dear World Organizations:

Enclosed please find yesterday's Press Release regarding ICU's formal presentation to the SportAccord General Assembly on 30 April 2010 in Dubai.

As mentioned in the Press Release, the ICU presented a detailed power point and video presentation to over 100 IF Presidents & Sport Executives who were in attendance. As also noted, the presentation delivered great value as a wonderful opportunity to introduce Cheer to the world of International Sports Federations.

From the presentation, the ICU continues to receive overwhelming feedback on the strength of the ICU organization, our membership, as well as our World Championships. Additionally, our presentation has promoted greater dialogue with IF Presidents on the positive attributes of Cheer as it applies to the world's sports community.

With greater awareness of Cheer, the ICU also received requests for greater clarification of our Sport. In respect of these requests as well as further SportAccord suggested adjustments of our bylaws, the ICU made the decision to present Cheer/ICU to the 2010 SportAccord General Assembly but to withhold a vote until 2011 in London.

Please email with any questions. Thank you again, and best wishes to everyone!

Kindest Regards,
Karl Olson
