[NSRCA-discussion] CIAM Meeting Representation

[Bill's Email]

FWIW the AMA started thinking about this at least as far back as at 
least mid 2011.
Go here:

http://www.modelaircraft.org/aboutama/organization/ec/news.aspx

Read the minutes for October 2011, July 2012, & October 2012. There are 
sections about FAI and WC in each of those EC minutes.

The Soaring rep estimated his costs at around $2K. Not sure where he lives.
