Anyone registered for the Congress and recognised by the various constituents of the Olympic Movement thus has the possibility of sending contributions via the extranet. Contributions must be in French or English. They must not be longer than 1,000 words.

All contributions will be submitted to the Editorial Committee, which will summarise and shorten them where necessary to avoid redundancies and any overlapping.

They will be published on the extranet once they have been certified, and can be consulted by all registered Congress participants who have received their extranet access codes. The extranet for the virtual Congress will be closed on 31 December 2008 at the latest.

Contributions may be consulted until the time of the Congress, but none will be taken into consideration after 31 December 2008.
