On August 14 (Sunday) at 11.00 by Central European Time (CET), debates will be organized via Zoom for those positions for which there are more candidates than there are seats to vote, in particular for the positions of President and Vice President. All candidates will be asked the following questions:

1. What do you think was inappropriate in past WCF policy? Briefly describe an effective way to fix these problems?

2. Do you have a development plan for the organization? Briefly describe what the plans and how.

3. Why do you think you will become a better president (or vice president, etc.)?

After these questions voters (representative of National Federations) may ask upto 2 other questions to candidates.

Candidates have 2 minutes to answer each question and 1 minute to answer a cross question on the same topic from other candidates (max. 1 question). Candidates are also allowed to debate on the questions asked (maximum 1 minute each).
