Dear all

We now have 27 entries for the regatta on Garda despite having nearly 40 expressions of interest.

The club has informed me that unless they get 30+ entries then they reserve the right to reduce the event to three days as it becomes uneconomic.

The regatta WILL go ahead, but four days is only guaranteed once we are over 30 entries.

If you plan to go pease enter now so the club can make the necessary arrangements.

Kære alle

OKDIA's aflysning af VM har affødt en del diskussion omkring proceduren op til aflysningen og især hvem der stemte for hvad.

OKDIA's president Mark Jackson har udsendt et notat til alle national sekretærer som der her bringes et uddrag af:

"Dear all

OKDIA has received several requests to publish the recent voting results for cancelling the World Championship.

However a decision was taken not to publish the voting responses at this time, as we believe this would not serve any useful purpose. Secretaries were asked to indicate a clear yes or no in order to guide the Committee’s decision-making process. The Committee then considered the feedback, including where it was conditional, and made a decision.

To avoid prolonged discussion between members and to reduce the potential for influencing other nations, the voting process was carried out individually through National Secretaries, rather than to the membership as a group.

Members should trust that the Committee handled the voting and decision process accurately and with integrity. We do not want to start a blame game, or see some national associations pressured to change their mind or explain their reasoning."

Efterfølgende har OKDIA meddelt at stævnet på Garda gennemføres i den oprindelige planlagte periode - men altså ikke som et VM. Nærmere info følger.

MEN... Udenrigsministeriets nuværende rejsevejledning fraråder pt alle rejser til regionen (Orange zone) hvilket selvfølgelig kan blive ændret mange gange, men det udfordre planlægningen en del.

Jeg foreslå at vi tager en snak om dette og om andre initiativer når vi mødes i Svendborg.
