InterPride Task Force (IPTF) Final Report released

The InterPride Task Force (IPTF) began meeting every week since January 2020 to examine the events that took place before, during, and after the 2019 Athens GMWC, allegations that were raised by some of the bidding organizations, and looking at the running of InterPride.

After analyzing the situation, the IPTF has compiled a report which includes recommendations based on this research and investigation. The IPTF has taken every care to look at ways to make this organization stronger and to future-proof the WorldPride brand. The IPTF strongly urges the Board and all committees to look over these recommendations and to adopt these changes as a matter of priority. The IPTF also urges the membership to review this report to understand what has taken place since the 2019 AGM.

Please be advised that these are recommendations, and therefore implementation of these recommendations will happen at the Board and committee level. Any questions related to these recommendations and their implementation need to be directed to the the Board and relevant committee(s) for their consideration.
