(ATR)The International Olympic committee is getting ready to make some major changes.

The 100+ members of the IOC are heading to the principality of Monaco where they will meet in an Extraordinary Session to consider wide ranging recommendations for change.

It is all part of Olympic Agenda 2020, the program for reform launched a year ago soon after the election of Thomas Bach as the new IOC president.

From the way cities bid for the Olympic Games to the way the Olympic Games are organized, and to the way the IOC is organized, 40 recommendations have been drafted for approval at this IOC Session.

The Around the Rings team is assembling in Monaco as well to cover the event. ATR editor Ed hula sets the scene for the next five days of coverage from the Riviera.
