Madrid, 25th September 2007
Dear Mr. Dinsdale,
I acknowledge receipt of your 21st September letter in which you submit the
formal application for membership of the English Karate Federation (EKF) in the
World Karate Federation, as well as of the Memorandum of Association and
Articles of Association of the said EKF.
In agreement with Article 14.7 of the Statutes of the WKF, I have decided to
grant provisional membership of the English Karate Federation in the WKF. This
will allow the English Karate Federation to participate with a full team of athletes
in the incoming Istanbul Junior & Cadet World Championships.
In the meeting of the WKF Executive Committee that will take place on 20th
October in Istanbul, I will submit this decision to the ratification of the EC. At this
respect, please be informed that the participation of the English Karate
Federation with a full team of athletes in the Championships will play a major
role in my recommendation to the EC to ratify this decision I am taking today.
Best regards,
Antonio Espinós
WKF President
