In June 2005, the IFRF issued a call for expressions of interest among its membership to identify members wishing to provide a new home and a new Director for the IFRF. By the 30th August closing date, eleven Expressions of Interest had been received. The process of developing them and choosing between them has now begun. It is envisaged that a decision about the future location of the IFRF will be taken before the end of 2005, with the new Director taking up his post shortly afterwards.
