I realize FIFA has not planned on making it public, but my hope is that some will do so. Someone should, actually.
I have it on good authority that Bill Archer is driving an Aston Martin through the Alps at this moment with a pocket cigarette-lighter spy-cam, a rubber Blatter mask, 250 pounds of suit stuffing and 4 Czech ladies of the night (you should see the back seat in the new Astons!) and will be uploading jpg snaps of the document by morning. Stay tuned.

Blatter ruled out a World Cup that would interfere with the 2022 Winter Olympics, which will likely take place in Feb. 2022... ...The FIFA statement states there will be another task force meeting in November, and likely a third meeting in Feb. 2015. At the next meeting, “each of the representatives (will be) asked to provide detailed information on how the different proposed dates for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar will impact their relevant competitions, activities and/or stakeholders.” http://www.soccerbyives.net/2014/09/explore-moving-dates.html
