Four candidates from the United States went to Paris to take the ITO test: John Blackburn, George Kleeman, Bob Podkaminer and Eric Zemper. It was announced at the time that no country would have more than two ITOs unless they all scored above 80%; then there might be three.
Congratulations are in order to the following officials: John Blackburn, Bob Podkaminer and Eric Zemper (all scoring above 80%) as they have been appointed ITOs for the 2010 – 2013 period. George Kleeman (scoring slightly below 80%) has been appointed to the NACAC ATO panel as the fourth scorer.
