EXERCISE OF THE SPORTING POWER

Normally, the Club, Association or Federation which has been entitled to exercise the Sporting Power shall exercise the said Power directly and throughout its national territory through its "Sporting Commission" which constitutes a special executive body. The FIA must be kept informed of the composition of that body.  
 
At the request of the holder of the Sporting Power and on proposal of the World Motor Sport Council, the General Assembly exceptionally shall authorise the holder of the Sporting Power to exercise this power through another organisation to which the Sporting Power shall then be delegated.  
 
The delegation may be:  
 
a) Total (i.e. covering all sporting activities), and in favour of one single organization functioning throughout the national territory.  
 
b) Total (i.e. covering all sporting activities), and in favour of one or several organizations functioning over a specific area of the territory.  
 
c) Selective (i.e. covering specific sporting activities), and in favour of one or more organisations exercising over the entire territory the functions which have been assigned to them.  
 
The Club, Association or Federation having received authority to delegate its Sporting Power shall remain the holder of the said Power, and consequently shall remain responsible to the FIA for the use made of the Power.  
 
Delegations are temporary. They may be revoked by decision of the FIA, at the request of the holder or, failing such a request, if the situation so requires. The facility provided for under paragraph a) above shall not be granted to Member Clubs, Associations and Federations of exclusively sporting competence (Article 3.3 of the Statutes).
