The IRSA website hosting provider has indicated that they are doing maintenance on a back end server.
They have advised me that this will take place:
Start: 2023-10-12, 10:00 PM ET
End: 2023-10-13, 01:00 AM ET
The website and forum may be unavailable during this time.
As of August 6, 2023 the domain radiosailing.org is now hosted on a new service and platform.
Existing usernames and passwords for the forum have been migrated to this new platform.
The login link is now at the top of the right hand pane and can be used for forgotten passwords (reset).
This new hosting service provides improved management capabilities, including an email server for the @radiosailing domain at a reduced cost from the original hosting service. The website now runs on WordPress which is more easily supported than the original site.
The IRSA Executive Committee has discussed, ratified and updated the IRSA rules and regulations for 2023.
The primary change is to now allow inclusion of other classes to join IRSA, such as DF65, DF95 & RG65, with their existing class rules.
We are striving to make IRSA a more inclusive organization and this is one step towards that goal.
This was just posted on the FaceBook IOMICA page now:
The IMCA and ITCA Executive have decided to hold off commitment to filling the places in the 2023 twin World Championships until the end of 2022.
This will allow for the National Organisations who have yet to finalise their Membership with either the IMCA or ITCA or both, to be completed. Please do not leave this to the last minute because it can take up to a month to be finalised.
A Membership to the IMCA and ITCA guarantee a proper allocation of competitor entry positions based on the Championship Rules. Non-member entries will have to rely on the small number of “invitation” positions for special cases.
This delay will expire on the 31st of December 2022.
