Dear Mr Pürn and colleagues, Alphametrics works for the European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE) to update and maintain the data on women and men in decision-making published in EIGE’s Gender Statistics Database. Please find attached a letter from the institute requesting your cooperation. We are currently developing a methodology to collect and publish data on women and men in decision- making in sports organisations. The collection will cover organisations convened at both European and national levels (38 countries) and is restricted (for purposes of comparability) to organisations representing sports recognised by the International Olympic Committee. The data collected will be published in the EIGE database, input to the calculation of the social power domain in EIGE’s Gender Equality Index, and may also be used in the context of the joint project of the Council of Europe and European Commission concerning gender balance in sports organisations. At national level, data are being collected for National Olympic Committees and National Sport Federations (i.e. the organisations governing each sport within a country). Our research indicates that there are in excess of 1250 national federations across the countries covered so, in order to ensure a cost- effective approach, the collection will not be comprehensive but based on a representative sample. In order to ensure transparency and comparability between countries, the sample will cover the ten National Sports Federations receiving the highest amount of public/government funding in each country. As the Ministry responsible for sport, we are writing to you for assistance in compiling the list of federations to be covered. You will find attached a short excel questionnaire. Q1 to Q3 have been pre- filled and you are only requested to provide the list of 10 sports federations receiving the highest amount of public funding from the ministry/national budget (Q4) in the most recent round of allocations and information about the frequency of funding allocation (Q5). Note that we are not requesting the amount of funding provided to each Sport Federation. We only need the list (names) of top 10 highest funded sports federations. Please return the completed questionnaire by 7th September 2018. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further clarification. Many thanks in advance for your response. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Kind regards, Gurbet Ogur – Researcher WMID Team Alphametrics Ltd.

In January 2017, EIGE took over the database on women and men in decision-making previously managed by the European Commission. This database monitors the numbers of women and men in positions of power and in key decision-making bodies in various domains in EU Member States, candidate countries and remaining member states of the European Economic Area. The data are published under the “Women and men in decision-making” entry point of the database: http://eige.eu ropa.eu/gender-statistics/dqs/browse/wmidm. The data are collected by our partners, ICF International and Aiphametrics Ltd and validated by a team of researchers, under contract to EIGE. To facilitate the collection of the information and to ensure accuracy I ask for your cooperation to make the data available when you receive the request and if necessary respond to any queries there might be about the decision-making hierarchy in your organisation. This will ensure that the data for each country published on EIGE’s website are as comprehensive, up-to-date and reliable as possible. Please note, that you will be requested to provide information only regarding the numbers of women and men in key decision-making positions and under no circumstances will you be asked to provide any personal information. Moreover, the data published will not be linked to the name of your organisation the numbers you provide will be added to those — from other organisations in your country in order to produce a country aggregate and only these aggregate figures will be published. The only case in which your organisation might be identifiable from the published data would be if it is the only organisation of its type. :i’ ‘,, Yours sincerely, I Virginija Langbakk Director Gedimino pr. 16, Ligia Nobrega LT-O1 103 Vilnius, Telephone: +3705 2157420 Lithuania Email: [email protected]
