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

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

true, Bill. I was sent a letter by the AMA stating that
travel expenses would not be paid for and that I could

<div>I can only believe that this will only further isolate
us (F3A) from the rest of the world. Yes, I'm still the
rep to CIAM but face-to-face meetings accomplish so much
more than through email. I had built up a great
relationship with the movers/shakers in F3A and now I feel
that it will be in jeopardy.

Thought you folks might be interested what is
going on in the soaring side of the FAI world. A
proposal to condense several events, soaring being
one of them, has been submitted. The soaring
community in the US is taking notice that AMA is
not funding the individual area reps to go to the
meeting, so the soaring folks have decided to try
to fund it themselves. Here's the thread:<br>

This is the document that has gotten them to do
this:<br>

target="_blank">http://lomcovak.cz/wp_eng/f3b/2013/03/f3b-world-championship-in-future-canceled/</a><br>
<br>
F3A is mentioned, but only in that it should
remain as is. F3M is talked about as a target for
elimination. Again, this is a proposal submitted
for consideration.<br>
<br>
Thought you might find it interesting. I recall
reading that our US F3A CIAM rep was also told by
AMA that they would not fund his travel.<br>
