Well this is how Hurriyet reports on the ratification, including the equal representation on the over-sight committee VP and including an optimistic quote from Sertoglu...
"... the deal was finally accepted by unanimity during a voting session with the participation of members from the 42 active clubs in the north of the island.
“The unanimity shows how the football clubs are approaching the issue. It also shows their confidence to the federation. This is a beginning, but we will walk on the path together,” Sertoğlu said following the vote.
He also added that steps to implement the deal will start in the beginning of 2014. The deal was approved by the Greek Cypriot football federation last week.
According the deal, Turkish clubs will join the Greek Cypriot Federation and the football division will be unified under Greek Cyprus leagues’ roof. The transition will be led by a committee composed of eight members, four from for each side, which will be responsible for implementing the conditions of the deal.
Turkish Cypriot clubs will be able to compete in European tournaments – if qualified – and will also be authorized to organize friendlies with clubs from other countries, which was previously banned due to embargos.
The football union is also seen as a significant step amid initiative for the re-initiating talks for the reunification of the island. ..."
CY football is the winner in this, the losers are Eroglu and Donktosh Jnr... they have to go.
