In principle, no more than one member can be elected from a single country. But the International Olympic Committee can start from
Summer Olympic Games
and
Winter Olympic Games
The host country chooses the second member. Moreover, the president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) presents no more than 10 candidates to the plenum, regardless of nationality but only of their role and unique qualifications, which makes it possible for a country to have more than two members. The IOC holds a ceremony to accept new members, and since 1955 new members have been required to take an oath when they enter the IOC. In addition to attending the IOC plenary Session, members have the following obligations: Represent the IOC in the IOC professional commissions to which they are appointed, assist in the development of the Olympic Movement in their countries and regions, implement the IOC programmes in their countries and regions, including the Olympic Solidarity Fund Programme, report to the IOC President on the development and needs of the Olympic Movement in their countries and regions, At least once a year, the IOC President shall be informed in a timely manner of all possible impediments
Olympic Charter
To carry out or affect the Olympic Movement in his country and region, whether within or outside the NOC, and to fulfil such other tasks as may be assigned to him by the President, including, if necessary, representing the IOC in other countries or regions. Members of the IOC are not personally liable to repay the debts of the IOC. Members of the IOC are not subject to any instructions from governments, organizations and other legal entities and natural persons that may restrict or interfere with their actions and voting.
Members elected before 1966 are for life; members elected before the end of November 1999 retire at the age of 80, while members elected after that retire at the age of 70. The number of IOC members has gradually increased from five in 1894 to 49 in 1914, 78 in 1974, 95 in 1992 (74 countries), 115 in September 1998 (84 countries), and 105 in June 1999 (78 countries) due to the Salt Lake City vote-buying scandal. Later, the IOC stipulated that in order to better reflect the status and voice of the International Federations, national Olympic Committees and athlete representatives in the IOC, a certain number of members were allowed to be elected by representatives from these three aspects. These members are eligible for election only if they are the president of an International Sports Federation, the president of a National Olympic Committee and a current athlete, and once they no longer hold these positions and positions, they "retire" from the IOC, regardless of their age. As of October 2004, the IOC has 119 members, 14 of whom are athletes.
Any member who has served the IOC for 10 years and retires due to age, health or other reasons acceptable to the IOC Executive Board shall become an honorary member. Honorary members may continue their activities on behalf of the IOC. Apart from no longer having the right to vote, his status remains the same and he is still invited to participate in the Olympic Games, the Olympic Congress and the IOC Plenary Session.
Honorary members may make their own recommendations if requested by the IOC President. Honorary members may be awarded
