IOMICA

World Council

The IOMICA annual report is underway, I can’t complete it until all the NCA annual reports are in and I’m still three missing, I’m sure those three know who they are, but reminders will go out again shortly.

RSD ratification of the class rule changes has been completed and new versions of the Class Rules and IOM measurement forms have been produced. Details can be found on the website shortly.

An application has been received fro The Malta Model Boat Association to join the World Council as the NCA for MLT. The paperwork is currently with the Exec for scrutiny.

’spam’ registrations to the forum have increased so much since December that it has been impossible to manually sift through all new account requests (about 1200 of them right now).

New forum users should first register on the forum normally, then email VCInfocomms (“vcinfocomms” at “iomclass.org”) and confirm their registration (please state your username, your full name, and your boat registration number).

Apologies to those legitimate users who have registered since December but not yet been approved.

The Executive Committee is pleased to announce that an application has been received from the Malta Model Boat Association to take up the role of National Class Association for MLT.

We have received the relevant documents detailing Registered and Certificated owners and have satisfied ourselves that the conditions for membership of the World Council have been met. A Memorandum of Understanding is in the process of being agreed.

This message constitutes notice under IOMICA regulation 3.4. Further details can be requested from the IOMICA Secretary.

World Council

The successful application of NED for NCA status brings the World Council membership to 21, an application from MLT is hopefully imminent.

The Exec has officially announced the return of ESP to the World Council.

RSD has responded to the request for ratification of the AGM resolutions, we’re confident that an amicable solution can be reached and an announcement will happen soon.

NCA Annual reports are starting to pick up a little pace; there are still 13 to go.

The website is now fully functional on WordPress, it’s certainly making updates easier and we’ve had no negative feedback yet.
