All *World Records*, *World Championships*, *Continental Championships* and some other championships such as the Asian Beach Games are conducted under the direction of CIMA.

CIMA has a large number of [delegates|https://www.fai.org/page/cima-delegates] from around the World who meet annually at a *[Plenary|cimaPlenaries:]* meeting, usually in November. 

Most CIMA decisions are made at Plenary meetings but much work goes on throughout the rest of the year. *[Sub-committees|cima:Who is who#Members of permananent CIMA sub-committees]* and *[working groups|cima:Who is who#Members of temporary CIMA working groups]* are appointed by the Plenary to do specific work and a *[Bureau|cimaBureau:CIMA Bureau home]* consisting of a President, two vice Presidents, a Treasurer and a Secretary is elected by the Plenary to represent CIMA outside of the plenary. 

The main purpose of this wiki is to facilitate the collaborative work of the Bureau and the different sub-committees and working groups, and to make their activity and results visible to the air sports community.

There are other uses as well, for example CIMA Delegates can enter national events in the [unofficial events calendar|Calendar] and make [World record corrections|World record corrections] since the data fields were changed in the FAI records database at the beginning of 2010.

For any other official information please refer to the [CIMA page at the FAI portal|https://www.fai.org/commission/cima].
