One Stop Shop draws positive response from CGA members

The initiative of One Stop Shop set up by the Organising Committee to facilitate sharing of information has been welcomed by the Commonwealth Games Federation General Assembly delegates ahead of the meeting on October 12.

Organising Committee chairman Suresh Kalmadi, who opened the One Stop Shop today, said he was pleased with the response. ''The idea of setting up a One Stop Shop with so many desks for different Functional Areas is to ensure that the delegates can have their specific questions addressed,'' he said. ''Usually, delegates interact with the Functional Area called the Commonwealth Games Association Relations but, in consultation with the Commonwealth Games Federation, we decided to have the One Stop Shop with as many as 19 CGA specific Functional Areas available for interaction,'' Kalmadi said. The One Stop Shop includes Accreditation, Accommodation, Games Travel Office, Air Travel, Catering, Ceremonies, CGA Relations, Communications and Publicity, Co-ordination, Finance, Games Village, Image & Look, Logistics, Queen's Baton Relay, Press Operations, Protocol, Sports, Sustainability & Environment, Technology and Ticketing. George Williamson (Cook Islands) went around the One Stop Shop and spent time with the Protocol FA. ''I was checking if our National Flag and our National Anthem were in place and I was very pleased to note that they were in order. I am delighted with the kind of set up here,'' Williamson said.

Other delegates and observers also came in with positve response for the One Stop Shop. ''Everything has been very quick and I am completely satisfied with all that we have heard at the One Stop Shop today,'' Gareth John (Wales) said.
