Following recent elections, IRSA Class Committee Chairmen have been appointed as follows: Marblehead – Matteo Longhi; 10R – Selwyn Holland; A – Lester Gilbert.
Guidelines for committee elections
These guidelines cover internal EC elections, and may also be used by committees and sub-committees of the EC.
In overview, the guidelines provide that each candidate is voted on separately, Yes or No, in a secret ballot. To be elected, a candidate must receive a majority of “Yes” votes (even if there is only one candidate).
Measurement question about country of owner
A recent decision explains the rule that a boat may only have a certificate issued by the country of the owner.
