We have received an application for IRSA membership from the Sailing Federation of Ukraine. They are an ISAF MNA, and so meet the requirements of Articles 5.1 and 5.2 of our Constitution.

The Sailing Federation of Ukraine application to become a member of International Radio Sailing Association has been considered by the Executive Committee and unanimously accepted.

We would like to welcome the SFU to the IRSA membership and look forward to assisting them and their organisation in promoting and developing the sport of radio sailing.

A proposal in the Executive Committee to require Office Holders within the IRSA to licence matters generated by them concerning the IRSA to the IRSA, has been accepted. See attachment.

The document was updated during discussion to version 2.

Text of the proposal and voting results can be seen below.

Proposal:

Background
While IRSA Officer Holders do not work under any form of contract, they do work as “office holders” like company Directors and members of the clergy. An Office Holder is certainly not an ’employee’. Where material is produced by an employee in the course of his employment, his employer is the owner of any copyright in the work, but this does not apply to Officer Holders. Where a person works independently he will usually retain copyright in any material he produces, and it is presumed this applies to Officer Holders.

Proposal
Given these considerations, Officer Holders retain the copyright to their Work while holding office, and IRSA requires every Office Holder to licence
their Work to IRSA.

The licence shall be a Creative Commons license which, in summary, requires that IRSA provides attribution to the Officer when the Work is used and
shared, permits commercial use of the Work, and requires adaptations of the Work be released under the same license.

Author: Lester Gilbert (EC Chairman)

Voting Result:

The final tally of votes is as follows:

In favour: (7) EC Chairman, EC Publicity Officer, EC Secretary, OP Chairman,
RO Europe, RO Oceania, TC Chairman
Against: (1) RC Chairman
Abstained: None
Not Present: (2) EC Treasurer, EC Vice Chairman
