The JOC = Japanese Olympic Committee will revise the regulations before the election of officers in June next year, and in principle, the maximum term of office of directors will be 5 terms and 10 years, and the ratio of female directors will be 40% or more. I decided to set a goal.

The JOC's board of directors currently consists of 24 directors, with no maximum number of reappointments, about 20% of female directors, and a smaller percentage of outside directors.



On the other hand, the "Sports Organization Governance Code", a norm established in June last year for sports organizations, sets an upper limit on the number of reappointments of directors for each competition organization, and the term of office is, in principle, up to 10 consecutive years. The ratio of outsiders is 25% or more, and women are encouraged to aim for 40% or more.



The JOC has been aiming to change the regulations based on this norm, but at the board meeting held in Tokyo on the 17th, the maximum term of office of directors will be 5 terms and 10 years, and the ratio of directors will be changed by outsiders. The majority agreed to change the rules, such as targeting 25% or more and 40% or more for women.



This rule will be applied from the re-election of officers in June next year, and it is expected that five directors, including Vice Chairman Kozo Tashima and Managing Director Tsuyoshi Fukui, who is the leader of the Tokyo Olympics, will retire before the Olympics. It was.



On the other hand, since Hidenori Tomozoe resigned as managing director in the middle of last month, Daichi Sawano, who is the chairman of the athlete, was newly appointed as a director.
