National Sports Coordination Framework
The National Sports Coordination Framework (Alexandrian: Cadre National de Coordination Sportive; Martino: Marco Nacional de Coordinación Deportiva; Wechua: Pukllana Kamachiy Tantan) is an administrative structure governing relationships between federal, regional, and local sports bodies in Nouvelle Alexandrie. It was endorsed at the Federation-wide Sports Summit of 1751 on 17.II.1751 AN and derives its principles from Article IV of the Fontainebleau Declaration on Sports, 1751.
Background
Prior to the Framework's adoption, coordination between the Federal Sport Committee and regional sports authorities operated on an informal basis. The Promotion of Sports Act, 1694 had established the Federal Sport Committee's supervisory role but did not specify procedures for consultation or dispute resolution. As the Federation expanded from its original constituent regions to twelve autonomous communities, each with distinct sports traditions and organizational structures, inconsistencies in funding allocation, competition scheduling, and athlete certification became more frequent.
The governance track of the Federation-wide Sports Summit of 1751, which met from 4.II.1751 AN through 15.II.1751 AN, examined these coordination challenges. Delegates from Alduria and the Wechua Nation advocated for greater regional autonomy, while representatives from smaller regions such as Valencia and New Luthoria emphasized the need for federal support and standardization.
Structure
The Framework establishes three tiers of coordination: federal, regional, and local. The Federal Sport Committee retains authority over national team selection, international competition participation, and anti-doping enforcement. Regional sports federations maintain jurisdiction over regional leagues, facility development within their territories, and athlete development programs. Local sports bodies, including municipal athletics departments and community organizations, manage recreational programs and youth athletics.
Consultation mechanisms
The Framework mandates quarterly meetings between the Federal Sport Committee and regional sports federation presidents. An annual National Sports Assembly, to be convened each year in a rotating host region, provides a forum for broader consultation with local sports bodies, athletic associations, and athletes' representatives. The first National Sports Assembly was scheduled for 1752 AN in Parap, Wechua Nation.
Reporting requirements
Regional and local sports bodies receiving federal funds through the National Sports Promotion Fund must submit standardized annual reports on program participation, facility utilization, and athlete outcomes. The Framework specifies reporting templates and deadlines, addressing complaints from smaller organizations that previous requirements had been inconsistent and burdensome.
Dispute resolution
The Framework establishes a Sports Coordination Tribunal to adjudicate jurisdictional disputes between federal, regional, and local bodies. The Tribunal consists of five members: two appointed by the Federal Sport Committee, two elected by regional sports federation presidents, and one nominated by the Secretary of Education, Sports, and Culture. Decisions of the Tribunal are binding but may be appealed to the federal courts on questions of law.
Implementation
The Federal Sport Committee was assigned responsibility for implementing the Framework, with a target completion date in 1752 AN. Secretary of Education, Sports, and Culture Beatriz Daguao appointed a twelve-member implementation working group on 25.II.1751 AN, comprising one representative from each region. The working group was tasked with drafting detailed regulations, establishing the Sports Coordination Tribunal, and preparing for the first National Sports Assembly.
The Cortes Federales Committee on Culture and Sports began reviewing legislation to give the Framework statutory authority in III.1751 AN. The Framework itself is an administrative arrangement; legislation would be required to make its provisions legally enforceable.
