Our website continues to receive many queries related to the affairs of the CISS, deaf sports as well as ongoing lawsuit matters.
Below is a query received from four website readers:

Dear Mr. Pinkhasov Pinchas,

We do highly appreciate many interesting and news-breaking materials published in this very educational website. However, we are still very confused and puzzled with one very hot and controversial issue: your persistent claim that Dr. Donalda Ammons of the USA is the still unlawfully elected CISS official.
Will you please clearly explain (and provide facts) to support your widely-publicized statement that Dr. Ammons is indeed an unconstitutionally-elected or re-elected CISS official? In the event your such a statement is an accurate and true one, then why do many deaf foreign sports leaders, including the responsible USADSF people, remain silent and passive by doing nothing against Dr. Ammons as an alleged abuser and violator of the CISS legal system? Are these deaf leaders fearful to speak up their mind? Why are they remaining on the sidelines?
In the meantime, Mr. Pinkhasov Pinchas, we wish you much success in your uneasy lawsuit case against Dr. Ammons and
Mr. Jordan. Thank you.

Answer: I have already at length addressed such an issue -
Dr. Ammons' highly-questionable status in the CISS structure -a number of times before.

In addition, during my recent trip to Moscow, Russia, for the occasion of the 12fth IMAFD World Championships in Martial Arts, a number of persons from Europe, Asia and Latin America came up to me with their questions related to the status of Ammons in the CISS hierarchy, including her continued inept, autocratic and anarchical work in the CISS.

To better and clearly understand the situation, please review and examine the following six rules of the CISS Constitution.

1) Rule 7.1.2 Full Members shall pay the membership fee as levied by CISS by April 1st of the applicable financial year. Interest will be due and payable at ten percent each month for late payments until October. All other levies and fees are payable within 30 days of their imposition.

2) Rule 7.1.3 A Full Member shall only be permitted to exercise its rights pursuant to article 7.1.1 if the annual membership fee and any outstanding levies have been paid and received by the CISS.

3) Rule 8.1.1 A member from any category of membership may be suspended for:

4) Rule 8.1.1.1 breach of terms of this Constitution;

5) Rule 8.1.1.2 for non-payment or non-renewal of the annual membership fees by October 1st of the applicable financial year or any other levy; or

6) Rule 8.2 A member under suspension loses all rights and privileges of membership. In particular a suspended member shall not be entitled to attend or vote at the Congress or enter athletes in any events or activities organized or sanctioned by the CISS.

Facts and arguments: since the National Sports Association of the USA( or, the USADSF ) deliberately failed to pay its annual $800.00 ( for the year of 2000 ) CISS membership dues in 2000 plus 10 percent interest penalty before the start of the 37th CISS Congress held in Rome, Italy, July 19-21, 2001, USA was in clear violation of the foregoing six different CISS Constitution rules.

Therefore, USA's nominee to the CISS Executive Committee and CISS Secretary General positions - Ammons - was INELIGIBLE, in strict adherence to the above-mentioned CISS Constitution rules, to be considered for any position in the CISS structure!

Consequently, Ammons, to this minute, is still the unlawfully elected or re-elected CISS official!

In lieu of the above facts, she is still, again, pursuant to the CISS Constitution rules, holding any positions in the CISS ( Member of the CISS Legal Commission, CISS Secretary General, CISS Interim President and a person in charge of the CISS e-News Magazine ) UNCONSTITUTIONALLY!

Moreover, the issue of Ammons' questionable status in the CISS leadership and administration has been brought up to the attention in my three different lawsuits against her and other two defendants before the USA District Court in Baltimore, Maryland, USA , as well as before the International Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne, Switzerland.

Each time Ammons, including her nominated USADSF organization, has chosen to remain unresponsive or evasive by not challenging and disputing my eloquent and justified claim that Ammons is indeed the illegitimately-elected CISS official!

I have no idea as to why certain deaf foreign sports leaders, including the past and present USADSF office holders, have not taken any appropriate action against Ammons as one of the two persons who MISLED and LIED to the world, that is, on the 37th CISS Congress election day of July 21, 2001, Ammons irresponsibly, intentionally and purposefully chose to conceal to all the 37th CISS Congress delegates from 60 or so countries about the now-irrefutable facts that USA indeed was in violation of certain CISS Constitution rules and that USA did not pay its 2000 CISS annual membership dues and its interest penalty in a timely manner!

I have also received information that Ammons in her personal self-interest "kept in the dark" certain USADSF Board and non-English-speaking CISS Executive Committee members about the USA CISS membership annual dues and interest penalty non-payments.

Finally, imagine how will the hearing and non-deaf sports world react when it will learn that Dr. Jacques Rogge of Belgium will, for example, be nominated for the highest position in the IOC while he or his Belgian National Olympic Committee will be in violation of certain IOC Charter rules?

Will the IOC members allow Dr. Rogge as a rule violator to run for the elective position, will not they?

Sportingly Yours,

Rafael Pinkhasov Pinchas
