Application for Designation as an ISAF International Class

Friday, August 7th, 2009

Following up on the request of the owners to find out more about a direct class affiliation with ISAF, we have found out that the timing of the next opportunity to have an affiliation approved is November 5th, 2009. The deadline for a submission that would put us on the agenda for this meeting was August 2, 2009. If we are not on the agenda this year then the next opportunity appears to be in one year’s time.

We know that the owners have not granted permission to carry out the affiliation as part of their approved request, but it is necessary to take the first step of making a formal submission to gain access to more detailed, formal information.
