The constitution and governance structure are viewed as the key objectives for the AGM, with TNZ President Tae Kyung Kim stating it will be based upon four districts.

Auckland will be one of the districts, along with Waikato, Wellington and South Island.

It is claimed the new structure will help to provide a strong platform for the sport to grow in the country,

A presentation will be scheduled to further explain the details to all TNZ members, who will then be able to ask questions afterwards.

Membership fees have been increased following a resolution passed by the TNZ Board, who claimed the current fee had "ability to effectively plan and finance the development of the sport".

The fee will rise from NZ$7.50 (£4.33/$5.44/5.06) to NZ$20 (£11.53/$14.50/13.49) for players above the age of 11, while those below that age will be unaffected.

"To ensure funds are effectively allocated TNZ will be requiring full input from the new District Boards to submit an annual budget based on a yearly work-plan derived from TNZ’s Strategic Plan, which will be presented at the AGM," said Kim, who is a World Taekwondo Federation (WTF) Council Member.

"A copy of the strategic plan will be distributed to members when the AGM agenda is sent out seven days before the date of the AGM.

"The District Boards’ annual budgets will be consolidated into a yearly total budget which will serve as the basis for computing the yearly membership fees.

"The objective of this process is to enable TNZ’s District Boards to properly plan the development and growth of the sport at all levels in their respective districts and apply financial support towards key areas."

These areas include helping elite and developmental athletes, international referees and poomsae judges development and representation, travel expenses for the national teams to compete at key-events, and planning for Tokyo 2020.

Hosting WTF G2 ranked events in New Zealand is another area identified for the funds.

Currently the TNZ have 3,222 registered members representing 75 clubs nationwide.

Following the WTF and Oceania Taekwondo Union decision to only recognise Kukkiwon Dan Certificates issued by Member National Associations, TNZ state they will comply by creating a new certificiation process.

It is claimed the process will create consistency among black belt examination standards and requirements, while helping the other colour belt levels.

They will look to bring in Kukkiwon education and accreditation programmes for TNZ examiners, as well as seeking to negotiate a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Kukkiwon in compliance with the WTF and OTU resolutions.
