Controversial CGF CEO Mike Hooper will continue to remain in Delhi but the proposal to appoint a monitoring committee to oversee the preparation for next year's Commonwealth Games have been shelved in a compromise between CGF and Indian organisers.After weeks of acrimony over organisational matters, the Indian organisers and the Commonwealth Games Federation on Friday tried to do a balancing act and pledged to work together for the success of the Delhi Games.A marathon peace meeting between Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) President Michael Fennell and Organising Committee chairman Suresh Kalmadi ended with a carefully worded joint statement being issued, which largely spoke of the need to focus on the functional areas that are essential for the success of the sporting extravaganza.But the proposal to form an independent monitoring panel to oversee the preparations of the 3rd-14th October Games has been put on hold for the time being.The Organising Committee had rejected the proposal and the development to put it on hold is seen as a reconciliation on the part of the CGF, the parent body of the Games."It is agreed that there have been misunderstandings and unfortunate media statements and reports that have created a regrettable set of circumstances," the joint statement said."However, we feel that is critical that our attention is focussed entirely on those functional areas that are essential to the successful celebration of the Games in 2010 and no useful purpose would be served by spending precious time on those issues and we will put this behind us," the joint statement issued by Fennell and Kalmadi said."We have agreed that we will continue to work together as partners, fully recognising and respecting our individual roles and ensuring that our attention is not diverted from meeting all the targets that have been agreed upon."The meeting of the two top officials took place immediately after the Queen's Baton relay and was initiated by India's Sport Minister M S Gill.A final decision on whether to go ahead with the monitoring panel would be taken only after the Coordination Commission's visit to Delhi from 14th December."The next step will be the visit of the CGF Co-ordination Commission commencing 14th December and they will evaluate the progress to date and the achievement of the targets promised by the Organising Committee, it added.The Commonwealth Games have been plagued by a series of controversies, which mainly started after Fennell wrote a letter to the Organising Committee on the "tardy" preparations for the Games and sought a meeting with the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to seek his intervention.
