What the archive has not read (1)

• No held document says when he became the commission's chairman or when he left it: the UIM's commission page of 5 July 2004 prints its president's line as Vacant, and the UIM yearbook of June 2017 lists another person as chairman of what it calls the Aquabike Committee (searched the archive's mirror and the research cache for Modoux, 2026-10-09).

The governing body's yearbook, whose publication line reads February 2010. The excerpt keeps its council (president, administrators, regional and continental vice-presidents, commission and committee presidents, secretary general), its International Aquabike Commission with posts and countries, the governing body's own entry in its list of national authorities, and the head of the Polish entry. High for whom the UIM lists in each post. The file is named yearbook2010.pdf and the cover reads 2009-2010; the archive dates the lists to February 2010, when the book was published. The excerpt also keeps the organigram's Aquabike Committee line and the International Medical & Safety Commission, and leaves out the editor's credit.

The world governing body's own page on its International Aquabike Commission: one sentence on the commission's remit (to bring together international sporting and commercial interests, administer the calendar and propose ecologically sound developments for aquabike racing) and its ten members with post and country. The page prints its last update as 11/10/02; read either way the date falls in 2002. It prints the president's country as Austria, where the UIM council page captured the same day prints ITALY for him. (as UIM yearbook 2009/2010 above)

High for whom the UIM lists in each post at that date.
