"The meeting will have to take a series of essential decisions, including the number and names of athletes and officials from the National Olympic Committee of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, since all the deadlines for registration have already passed," the IOC said in a statement on Wednesday.

"The IOC will also have to decide on the format of such participation, including questions related to the official protocol (flag, anthem, ceremonies, uniform, etc.)."
