NORCECA Press Commission held fruitful meeting

 

   

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic, February 11, 2016 – Mandatory video streaming for all NORCECA major competitions was one of the proposals the Press and Media Commission of NORCECA will submit for approval to the Board of Administration of the institution.

Streaming video, which has been often requested by the followers of the website, would be mandatory for annual Pan American Cup in both genders, the two biennial NORCECA Continental Championships, the biennial U23 Pan Am Cups and the U21 Men’s Pan Am Cup and U20 Women’s Pan Am Cup.

Another proposal was to include the accompanying journalists in the major competitions when those professionals meet a certain number of requirements that include the certification by both the National Olympic Committee and National Federation as well as from the media group they represent.

Also the Press and Media Commission proposed a change of the regulation regarding the all/star team to allow the opposite player to keep the award as the best player of his/her position when they are also elected as Most Valuable Player.

Arturo Couoh, who was introduced as new president of the Press and Media Commission, made a report of the FIVB Press Commission Meeting held in Lausanne, Switzerland.

The working plan covering the period 2016-2019 includes the expansion of the social media platforms and the increase of the followers and interactive communication of fans around the region and throughout the world.

Roosevelt Comarazamy, NORCECA Press Officer, presented a full report of activities corresponding to 2015 and presented a working plan with an expanded team of collaborators.
