In more detail about each questionnaire:
1. "The Team questionnaire - application" - is filled by administration of Emergency Service or by the responsible person of the team. Presence of the signature, a seal and date of filling of the application is necessary. After filling - the copy should be sending us by fax: +7 (3272) 71-44-90. It will be official document for our organizing committee that confirms your wishing to participate in the Gathering. Upon arrival to the Gathering the team is obliged to present the original of "the team questionnaire-application".
2. "The Personal questionnaire of the participant" - is filled for each participant separately. After filling it should be send by e-mail: emergency@almaty051.org. Upon arrival - each participant should bring with itself two photos - 3 ? 4 cm.

We will send those questionnaires to all interested Emergency Services.

After their filling, the organizing committee will define, in what saving work the team is engaged (that is whether the team is Emergency Service which the organizing committee can invite further free-of-charge to the Rescuers Gathering during the period from July, 17 till August, 07, 2003 and only within the program: Almaty - Khan Tengri - Almaty or can arrive only like clients - who will pay).

We have basic requirement to everyone who will be free-of-charge invited (naturally after discussion and the statement of this team by our organizing committee). The preference of organizing committee will be given to team up to 6 persons, which represents only one country.

Obligatory requirements to the team

(1). The team invited free-of-charge (under the program: Almaty - Khan Tengri - Almaty) should result with itself:
1. A photo materials for the stand (which it will be exposed in Base Camp in a final part of festival) about the perfect ascensions of a team, about the carried out salvage operations in mountain district, etc. The team can bring the stand with itself or make (to buy) on a place.
2. And (on a choice): a slide material or video film (on the same theme). On a place we will give a projector for slides. As to video film its should be in format VHS or on CD. Extent of one of materials should be about 15 minutes.
(about brought materials still it will be stipulated in the subsequent correspondence).

(2). Each team, or only one of its participants will be obliged to accept joint participation in salvage operations in the "mixed" team (according to the script of rescued works which by present time is not developed yet finally). The given action is carried out as demonstration performance of rescuers at festival and as the joint doctrine on rendering assistance to the victim in extreme conditions, instead of is particularly competition between teams.

Joint participation will pass on the following system:
(à). Beforehand there is a mixing participants from the different countries in one team, that probably will lead to formation of several separate teams (depending on number teams arrived on the Gathering - 2003) which after several joint doctrines on rendering assistance in mountain district will make demonstration of rescued work.
(b). It will be offered introduction (i.e. the script is prepared and according to it task will be send). One of examples: the message on the victim in the second base camp at height of 5600 m has arrived. The helicopter drops off a rescue team, which should lower the victim.
