The event at the Best Western Premier IB Hotel Friedberger Warte in Frankfurt is due to take place from November 12 until 15.

One of the major topics on the IWRF agenda during the weekend is the election of members into three positions.

Cathy Cadieux, chief executive of the Canadian Wheelchair Sports Association, is running unopposed to become treasurer.

Meanwhile, there are two available roles as "large positions" members with five candidates in the running.

Those standing include Great Britain Wheelchair Rugby trustee Richard Allcroft, who took oath on behalf of all judges and referees at the Opening Ceremony of the 2012 Paralympic Games in London.

South Africa's Clyde Holland and Gary Pate of USA Wheelchair Rugby have also been nominated, along with Mike Spence, the leader of Great Britain's wheelchair rugby team at the Invictus Games, and Indonesia's Rodney Holt.

All positions are for a term of four years and will expire at the end of the IWRF General Assembly in 2020.

In accordance with IWRF By-laws, candidates must receive at least 50 per cent plus one of the votes cast to be elected.

Several motions were also received by the IWRF leading up to the Assembly, which will be discussed during the meetings.

They include Brazil and Colombia’s desire to establish a separate Zone for South America, as well as the United States' belief that there should be an athlete on the classification panels.

The Board, Zone and Committee representatives are scheduled to arrive in the German city on November 11 with other member representatives joining them a day later.

There will then be a number of meetings during the weekend with the General Assembly taking place on November 14.
