Executive Committee

IRSA Summary of Activities to December 2015

Following is a broad outline of the 2015 activities of the various IRSA committees along with the results of the decisions made by the Executive Committee. The method of meeting and decision making within the IRSA is evolving. The Executive is, in essence, in meeting all year now on the Forum with discussion and voting on the matters brought before it completed at that time rather than wait for a major meeting for ratification. It is a seamless and efficient method of getting to decisions quickly to support the members and also the various very active committees within the IRSA.

2015 has been a varied and busy year. Some of the highlights include:

  • The new IRSA Website and Forum went live.
  • Approving the formation of International Class Committees for Marblehead, 10R and International A.
  • Approving the combined 2016 Marblehead and 10R Worlds for Lake Garda, Italy. Preparations are well advanced.
  • Racing Committee: App E update submitted to the ISAF for the 2017-20 Rules.
  • Technical Committee: Updating of the Marblehead, 10R and International A Class Rules to final draft forms. Currently with the DNMs for comment.
  • Racing Committee: Case Book published and working party being set up to manage it in the future.
  • New IRSA logo approved.
  • The 2016 General Assembly planning and process is underway.

GA 2016 News

GA 2016 Member representative update

Most of the members have responded to the DNM survey asking for one voting representative to be communicated with during the GA lead up and be present at the GA.

However, a few have been difficult to get a response from. I even tried going through their websites.

Belgium
Brazil
Croatia
Poland

If anyone has any contacts in their national associations I would appreciate you contacting them and getting their executive to communicate with secretary@radiosailing.org.
