14
case the Logo will cease to be ICC approved immediately upon ICC giving notice to that effect.

A. Preface
1. The objectives which ICC seeks to achieve through these regulations are:
a) To ensure a consistent approach and to treat all Member Boards equally;
b) To ensure appropriate standards of appearance of players, team and match officials;
c) To protect the sponsorship rights of ICC and its Member Boards (including from ambush marketing);
d) To allow an opportunity for players to obtain some revenue from controlled bat advertising;
e) To prohibit advertising connected with betting and/or gaming.
2. These regulations are effective as from the 1st October 2006.
B. Definitions

7. ICC Approved – in relation to any Logo, means approved by ICC (or by ICC Development (International) Limited (“IDI”) as ICC may decide) in accordance with the procedure set out in Section P below, as qualifying as a Manufacturer’s Logo, a Commercial Logo, an Event Logo, a National Logo, a Player’s Bat Logo or an Umpires’ Logo (as the case may be) and as not being a Betting Logo and as being otherwise in accordance with these Regulations.
8.
