The Beijing Organizing Committee of the Olympic Games (BOCOG) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC), are working together to come up with a document called Master Plan for the 2008 Summer Games that will detail thousands of tasks which BOCOG is expected to complete in the next seven years. The IOC will also use it to evaluate the preparations of the organizers.
The BOCOG has made some additions and revisions to the document based on the IOC’s original version of the plan and will give the revised version to the IOC in Salt Lake City. The IOC will make its own revisions before returning the document to Beijing organizers in April.
Zhang Jian, chief of BOCOG’s Project Management Department said, “we need several rounds of exchanges. Now we have finished the first round. The Master Plan will be finalized at the end of this year”.
According to the plan, the IOC’s Coordination Commission of the 2008 Games will visit Beijing in May.
By the end of this year Beijing will launch a logo for the 2008 Games replacing the bid logo.
