IOC President Thomas Bach appointed Pierre-Olivier Beckers-Bieujant to chair the IOC coordination commission for the 2024 Paris Olympics. Patrick Baumann will chair the IOC coordination commission for the 2028 L.A. Olympics.

Several members of the IOC evaluation commission 2024 and 2028 are part of the IOC coordination commission 2024. Bach said, "The structure and composition of the IOC Coordination Commissions 2024 and 2028 are not only a fantastic chance for Paris and Los Angeles to benefit from each other's experience, but also ensure an effective transition between the two editions of the Games." An IOC member since '07, Baumann is the president of the Global Association of Int'l Sports Federations and led the 2024 and 2028 IOC evaluation commissions.
