Could I just add to Anders comments that this proposal was rejected at the last AGM. With out clarification of a slit, its length, number etc this simple change ( with good intent) has the potential to create complex sails outside the current rules of 4 panel 3 seam Main etc. Could i suggest that th...

Lester I must agree (on all 3 proposals). And I am sure that if we were to get authority to run multi continental then Steve would look at this whole issue in a diffrent way. Steve maybe the proposal to the WC should be that it seeks approval for multi continental Championships. Sorry don't mean to ...

France NCA like all NCAs, have an oppertunity to draft rule changes but I think this proposal needs more substance before it can be voted on. eg which rule change or additions and what criteria regarding position etc. If France can improve on their proposal then we all can voice our opinion here and...

Hi All, Think we have jumped the gun a little. My advice in the exec forum was that Mike Clifton looked like he had found some one in GBR to take on the secretarial job. NOT Mike.

Solutions to rejected Class rule changes
Lester wrote in Class Ass & Class Managment The IOMICA Constitution (Paragraph 8.9) requires that any "emergency" rule change receives ratification by the World Council at its next meeting (and contrary to earlier posts, this cannot be delayed). The intention is always that it is the WC which must ...

The time has come to put up. IOMICA does not run it's self and is only as strong as the support it gets from its members. We have just entered a new Executive year and need your support. Currently our executive is: Chairman: Greg Willis (AUS) VC Technical: Nigel Winkley (GER) VC Infocomms: Anders Wa...

I think this issue has got a bit bigger than when I made my original comments. Hi Ken OK, I understand. What I think is now more important is that we move to fix any voting anomalies which could be created by the packaging of a number of changes under the one vote. If a member voting on Resolution ...

As I am sure you recall, one of the things promised in Vancouver prior to the formation of IOMICA was that the RSD would shortly no longer have any control over the IOM Class. Now, over two years later, RSD is still in control. Hi Roy I have no such recollection. The IOM class is managed and admini...

Re: SLIT SEAMS Part B2 IOM Class Rule Change Proposals.
I can however see a number of issues resulting from these new rules as they presently stand. Hi Robert Your thoughtful comments are appreciated. 1. Is there a maximum number of "slits" permitted? 2. Is the length of the "slits" regulated? 3. I assume the "slits" will be reinforced by a "cover" or "...

I remind you that one of the original "selling" points made by you for the formation of IOMICA was that it would operate in the "open" and with enhanced member participation.

I've been thinking about the various issues raised in this forum and on this topic, and wondering what can be said. And what I've been thinking about is "blame".
