At Friday's Executive Board meeting of Beijing 2008 organizers the group studied plans on recruiting volunteers for the Olympic and Paralympic Games, and related policies.

BOCOG worked out the volunteer recruitment program according to the Strategic Plan and Action Plan for the Beijing Games drawing on the successful experiences of previous Games in the area.

BOCOG will start worldwide recruitment of volunteers in August according to the Beijing 2008 Web site.

Organizers want to set up what they call a "quality volunteers'" team to reflect the three Olympic concepts - Green Olympics, High-Tech Olympics and People's Olympics, and the Olympic theme slogan One World One Dream.

Other topics discussed at the meeting included mascot design for the Paralympic Games, torch designs, medals, uniforms and the torch relay logo for the Olympics, as well as the third-round campaign to solicit Olympics songs.
