Last week I reported (http://ozreport.com/10.252#2) that there will be a competition next April after the
Flytec Championships called the "Flytec World Championships." The key word here
is reported.


Flip Koetsier, ,
the CIVL President, objected to my article. He wrote:

I read your recent report about the so called "Flytec World
Championship" with surprise. Perhaps you (or the organiser) did not know that
NACs which are members of the FAI are party to an agreement that only
championships sanctioned by the FAI may be described as World or Continental
Championships.


As a member of the organisational team for the 2007 World Hang Gliding
Championship and therefore a representative of your NAC I hope you will
understand that it is inappropriate for you to publicise an event in such a way.

BTW, I publish this email from Flip (and the following one) as he wrote it to me in my
role as publisher of the Oz Report and therefore I see it as fair game. He did
not make any representations that it was not for publication.
