Spain Hang Gliding Euros - 2014

The Bureau and the Stewards of the competition have great concerns on the
viability of the competition as the test event was conducted. Agust will discuss
the situation with the organizer and FAI.

Annecy Hang Gliding Worlds - 2014

Max overall is 150 and if there are fewer pilots than expected in any given
class, those “spaces” can be allocated to another class. Sport class event is
open to any pilot in the WPRS rankings (no restriction to only sport class
ranked pilots).

Rumor has it that the French team will consist of top pilots
flying king posted gliders. In the USA the top twenty ranked pilot are not
allowed to fly Sport Class.

5. Bids for 2016 Championships

The rule voted by the 2013 Plenary requires that bids be sent to CIVL four
months before their presentation to the Plenary, i.e. before October 22. No bid
has been received so far. The new rule is probably not known. CIVL has not
communicated enough on this matter. The Bureau decides to extend the bids’
deadline to December 1st for this year bids.

11. Sporting License

The new sporting license system is online. It is mandatory for NAC’s to have
their pilots in the system from January 2014. The system allows for QR code for
checking expiration/validity of the licences. Next phase in preparation is to
set up a competition management system for online registration.

Reviewed how we can reduce organizers costs. Most obvious place is Jury
expenses. We need to consider different Jury options. Agust Gudmundsson to
review and come with recommendations. Bureau is considering how to do booking
travel for some officials where those officials expenses have been unusually
higher than others.

F. Austria

The Austrian Delegate will be asked to explain at the Plenary the position with
respect to licenses to fly in Austria.
