6.5. TMS Activity
...
The ITTF Information Technology transition and retrieval of the ITTF data was not as smooth
as wished. The ITTF was disappointed that TMS, with Mr Sharara’s involvement, had made a
large financial proposal to the ITTF for continuing its services in managing the ITTF IT
solutions.
The ITTF legal status and bank accounts in Canada were managed poorly and the ITTF
Canada bank account was transferred to ITTF Africa without the President or Vice President of
Finance knowledge.
The ITTF obtained a document from which it seems to be evident that the former ITTF
President received an amount of 80,000 CAD from TMS in 2006.
...
It was discovered that there had been irregularities of certain past bid tender processes,
which needed to be checked very carefully to ensure that the ITTF did and does not act
illegally.
Based on the facts mentioned before, it was proposed to the Executive Committee that the
ITTF engages a law firm to further investigate the issues.

3-EC-20170923
The Executive Committee resolved to instruct the ITTF lawyers to seek clarification from Mr
Sharara about his possible involvement with TMS and if there was or is any conflict of interest
due to his positions within the ITTF and TMS. The Executive Committee also resolved to
inform its lawyers of any potential irregularities or other issues for evaluation.
4-EC-20170923
The Executive Committee resolved to not conduct any further business with TMS due to ongoing
investigations.
5-EC-20170923
The Executive Committee resolved to ensure that proper bidding processes are in place for

8.7. Multi-balls trial
The EC noted a report from Ms Iulia Necula about the multi-balls trial at the Czech Open.
The system consists in the players receiving a new ball from the umpire for the next point
without having to collect the ball from the last point, and thus, reducing the time lost
between points. The time saved was four seconds on average from the final in Bulgaria
Open compared to the final in Czech Open, where the same players were playing. Overall,
the time saved in the different matches was two seconds.
16-EC-20170923
The Executive Committee resolved to continue testing this system during the 2018 ITTF
World Tour.
