The stakeholders, including athletes and international sports federations 
(IFs), will benefit from the work, he said soon after the commission's sixth 
full meeting ended in Beijing.
 BOCOG has an efficient team who works meticulously, he said during the 
presentation of BOCOG on its preparation for the Games, his commission founded 
that every aspect of the work gives full consideration to the requirements of 
athletes, IFs and sponsors. "We are pleased to be informed of this at a crucial 
stage when the preparatory work is moving towards the Games-time phase," he 
said.
 Terming BOCOG as a team open to suggestions, Verbruggen said BOCOG cooperates 
closely with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and other organizations. 
"They are willing to listen to opinions from a variety of people, and this is 
rarely seen in the previous editions of the Olympic Games," the commission head 
added.
