Insofar as I am concerned, I don't believe that we should even consider 
such a move as outlined below, until we find out exactly what the FAI 
people are proposing.  Inasmuch as I have had  lengthy back-and-forth 
with several qualified people on how only allowing a weight increase 
would obsolete all pattern airplanes now existing, and open a Pandora's 
box  that would be extremely detrimental to the sport,  (and these folks 
are well intentioned) I could not support a  knee jerk reaction that 
says "whatever they do, we'll follow."    It is counter-productive, in 
my opinion, to blindly follow, and subject the entire sport, to rules 
that may ultimately affect, and be reflected in, a segment of the 
pattern community that may not be representative of the whole body.  If, 
on the other hand, it appears that such rules changes, legally affecting 
only FAI, would be beneficial to our sport as a whole, then I'd say 
"approved!"
