[NSRCA-discussion] 2015 Plenary Meeting

[Ronald Van Putte]

The items below have been extracted from the agenda of the 2015 CIAM Plenary Meeting to be held in the Mövenpick Hotel - Lausanne (Switzerland)
on Friday 24 April and Saturday 25 April 2015.

It is proposed that the words in Bold Oblique be removed from the appropriate section.

The result of the first deletion is that the organizing committee would not have to use names from the current list of international judges and may pick judges whose names are not on the list.

The second deletion is in line with the first deletion

The third deletion would remove the requirement for recent judging experience.


14.8 Section 4C Volume F3 - RC Aerobatics
aa) 5.9.10 c) Judging F3 Aero Subcommittee
Amend the paragraph as follows:
For World or Continental Championships the organiser must appoint one or more
panels of five judges each. The judges must be of different nationalities and must be
selected from a current list of international Judges. Those selected must reflect the
approximate geographical distribution of teams having participated in the previous
World Championships (if applicable) and the final list must be approved by the CIAM
Bureau. At least one third, but not more than two thirds of the judges must not
have judged at the previous World Championship. Judge assignment to the
panels will be by random draw.
Reason: Avoid doubling of the rule, see 5.9.10 d). The rule is meant to refer only to
one, the latest previous World Championship. Adaption to F3A
ab) 5.9.10 d) Judging F3 Aero Subcommittee
Amend the paragraph as follows:
The invited judges for World or Continental Championships must be selected from a
current the applicable list of FAI international judges and must have had a
reasonable amount of F3P or F3A judging experience within the previous twelve
months and must submit a resume of his judging experience to the organiser when
accepting the invitation to judge at a World or Continental Championship. The
organiser must in turn submit the resumes to the CIAM Bureau for approval.
Reason: Since the available number of international judges may be limited in a
„current“ list, ie. a list becoming effective in the year of the championship actually
held should also serve as a resource of appointable judges. Judging criteria in F3P
are equal to F3A with both of them referring to the ANNEX 5B

I am not in favor of the deletions and wonder what NSRCA’s and AMA’s plans are.
