- The FAI working group on the new Flight Data Management System
has not yet finalized its work, and this makes it difficult for the
compatibility of CIVL software to be determined.


- In May 2006 the new WPRS web site was brought online – it has all results of
all sanctioned competitions since 2001, as well as all pilots who have competed
in those competitions. Now we are working on the next steps to add the flight
verification and scoring part of it. This will be free for all pilots and
organizers. Organizers are pressing for this more because of the high prices of
commercial flight verification software.


CIVL’s new competition part of the software cannot progress until it is clear
what Naviter has already developed. Rather than duplicating development, Agust
Gudmundsson and Scott Torkelsen should liaise with Naviter so the projects can
be combined. Naviter says they have much already in place.


It is important for CIVL to discover quickly exactly what has been and will be
done. CIVL has to decide if we are prepared to wait and delay much needed
software, or continue our development without knowing the extent of duplicate
functionality. Scott and Agust will travel to Slovenia to meet Naviter if
needed.

- It is aimed to have new version of RACE in place before the
Plenary, with bug fixes and some additions already requested. Old versions of
RACE (Race2002 and older) should be removed from the CIVL website.
