Volunteers checked accreditation at the venues. 276 Organization and Staffing From the autumn of 1992, a NAOC staff was dispatched to work in the Accreditation department at the Lillehammer Olympic Organizing Committee (LOOC) for one and a half years. NAOC’s Accreditation section was established in April 1995 with a staff of five, which grew to 12 by Games-time. The introduction of the new system and the printing / sending out of the cards before the Games that the new system entailed, meant that staff had to work exceptionally hard under strict time constraints. Test Events and Volunteer Training Accreditation procedures were first tested at the <strong>IOC</strong> Executive Board meeting held in Karuizawa in December 1995. After this, Accreditation staff continued work on accreditation procedures for the ICPG events. The Short Track Speed Skating World Championships in March 1997 provided an excellent chance for a full test run of the Olympic system and for staff and volunteers to gain experience. Volunteers proficient in foreign languages were assigned to accreditation-related duties and attended training sessions on theory and system operations. A total of 468 staff and volunteers worked 7,289 shifts during the Games. The Accreditation System The computer system for accreditation was transported from Atlanta after the 1996 Olympic Games. In the summer of 1995, NAOC staff spent one month in Atlanta to learn how to operate the system. The system and processes were significantly altered in November 1996 after the decision was made to introduce the Combined Card, and NAOC received much assistance from technicians at IBM, Worldwide Partner for the Games. The revised system was tested at the Short Track Speed Skating World Championships in March 1997, and additional alterations subsequently made. Despite severe time constraints the system was completed on schedule, and the hard work of staff ensured that the Combined Card system functioned without any problems during the Games. Accreditation Centres • Main Accreditation Centre (MAC) The MAC was located near the White Ring arena. The introduction of the Combined Card eliminated the need for the larger facility originally planned, and the MAC was set up on a reduced scale. At previous Games, the MAC was the focus of feverish activity for all those requiring Olympic accreditation, leaving a lasting and occasionally negative impression on participants. For the Nagano Games, the atmosphere at the MAC was calm, as most of the Olympic Family coming from overseas received validation at one of the international airports. In September 1997, the Accreditation section moved operations to the MAC and entered Games mode. A fingerprinting system was installed for entry into the workroom and tight security enforced. The MAC contained a great deal of equipment, including 20 terminals for data input, 11 terminals for issuing cards, and several photographic systems
for card issuance / re-issuance. The centre officially opened on January 7, one month before the start of the Games. • Sub Accreditation Centres Sub accreditation centres were set up at the <strong>IOC</strong> hotel, the Olympic Village and Satellite Village in Karuizawa, the IBC, and MPC. These centres offered the same services as the MAC, such as validation of Combined Cards, issuance / re-issuance, and the issuance of day passes. Accreditation Offices Accreditation offices were set up at all competition venues and at the ice hockey practice rink. Most of these offices were staffed by volunteers who dealt with card validation and the issuance of day passes. However, as various venues were located at some distance from Nagano City, re-issuance of Combined Cards was also possible at Shiga Kogen (slalom / snowboard giant slalom venue), Nozawa Onsen (biathlon venue), Iizuna Kogen (bobsleigh / luge venue), as well as at Hakuba (cross-country skiing venue). Cards could also be issued / re-issued at the Main Accreditation Centre. 12. Accreditation, Security, and Medical Services 277
