- They demand to meet the king prior to the opening ceremony. Afterwards, there shall be a cocktail reception.

- Drinks shall be paid for by the Royal Palace or the local organizing committee.

- Separate lanes should be created on all roads where IOC members will travel, which are not to be used by regular people or public transportation.

- A welcome greeting from the local Olympic boss and the hotel manager should be presented in IOC members’ rooms, along with fruit and cakes of the season. (Seasonal fruit in Oslo in February is a challenge…)

- The hotel bar at their hotel should extend its hours “extra late” and the minibars must stock Coke products.

- The IOC president shall be welcomed ceremoniously on the runway when he arrives.

- The IOC members should have separate entrances and exits to and from the airport.

- During the opening and closing ceremonies a fully stocked bar shall be available. During competition days, wine and beer will do at the stadium lounge.

- IOC members shall be greeted with a smile when arriving at their hotel.
