Discussion: Orienteering after EOC

I very much liked Eva's blog post and I believe that those questions should be a wake up call for federations and people involved in international orienteering. It would be interesting to read at lest some of elite runners, coaches, leaders and organizers opinions about EOC. It seems that orienteering community want to go forward, want to have answers, want to be part of future development.

I see this thread more in a light of "You know you are an orienteer when..."
so I'm posting my favorite question from Eva. If you know the answer or want to have fun, want to share your solution bring it to to surface. It'd interesting to see what questions are out there and what solutions people demand.

1. Why presentations from these seminars (HLES) are not published at IOF's website?

Bring O-Snowden in town:)

I think this will bring about the death of orienteering worldwide. Let's replace it with trail-o.

Are they suggesting the IOF should be putting its resources in to the the running and supervision of the EOC when they are not doing, nor should they be doing it for any other regional championships?
I don't agree.
Let the European O federations be the ones to pay to keep their own house in order.

Not just EOC. If I understand Eva she wants that IOF rethink about the whole model of all major elite events which includes: organizer selection, fees, EA role, Sport director, etc.

I think it is about the need for IOF to put its energy and resources into ensuring high quality events for the orienteers (related to the things that matter to orienteers - good maps, good courses, controls in the right places, controls not taken down early; and perhaps a simple/single system of gps tracking and live results posting that works); rather than pursuing the Olympic dream to stage orienteering in places that are likely (perhaps?) no good for orienteering.

@gordhun, Europe does pay for the IOF by hosting nearly all IOF levied events
