The International Gliding Commission (IGC) is the international governing body for the sport of gliding.
It is one of several Air Sport Commissions (ASC) of the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI), or "International Aeronautics Federation". FAI is the world body for sporting aviation and the certification of world records for aeronautics and astronautics and was founded in 1905.
When the IGC was founded in 1932, it was called CIVV (Commission Internationale de Vol a Voile) and has also been called CVSM (Commission de Vol Sans Moteur). It is the FAI commission responsible for the international competitions, records and badges that apply to gliders and motor gliders. The term "sailplanes" is sometimes used. Hang gliders and paragliders have a separate body called the FAI CIVL Commission, which stands for "Commission Internationale de Vol Libre".
Within FAI, the sport of glider aerobatics is managed by the FAI Aerobatics Commission (CIVA which stands for "Commission Internationale de Voltige Aerienne" and also deals with powered-aircraft aerobatics
