IOMICA Forum

Click on the link below to read the January 2014 IRSA press release. IRSA's Publicity Officer Robert Hobbs is upbeat about the future for IRSA. http://www.radiosailing.org/document-files/news/2014/2014-01-21_IRSA_Press_Release_for_January_2014.pdf The IRSA General Assembly is now approximately 15 we...

In response to the enquiries in this thread concerning the forthcoming IRSA General Assembly, I would like to offer the following information: (1) The 2014 IRSA General Assembly will be held between 4th and 10th May 2014. It will be carried out inside the DNM forum on the IRSA web site. Only the des...

I would like to strongly support Roy's "thought" of one owner/one vote. The present system of "certificated" and "registered" owners is unnecessarily complicated and simply adds work for the officer concerned with collating an IOMICA vote within each NCA. Once the one owner/one vote issue is clarifi...

Could a member of the outgoing executive please confirm which resolutions at the AGM are to voted on by both certificated and registered owners and which are to be voted on only by certificated owners.

I have undertaken to compile the vote for the NCA for GBR in the forthcoming AGM.

Currently, I have an up-to-date list of owners ready to submit to IOMICA - this will be submitted in the form of a pdf file. To whom should this emailed ?

Andy

This evening I have forwarded by email the voting return xls file duly completed as required.

Eventually we managed to get 52 GBR owners to take part in the vote.

Regards

The NCA for GBR confirms that they are not going to reballot their owners in respect of the third change to the Agenda for the forthcoming AGM. For the benefit of NCA for GBR owners, a statement has been published on the NCA for GBR web site providing additional background and setting out the reason...

Lester I take it that you are saying the document entitled "Procedure for election of IOMICA Executive Officers at a meeting of the World Council" is in fact an IOMICA Regulation. Can you please tell me when this became a Regulation and also why is the document still sub-titled "Major Draft Version ...

Greg I have endeavoured to stay out of contributing to this topic but now I have to respond to your latest posting. You refer to one our NCAs wishing that the issue should blow up at the WC. That quote was made by me on 31st August in a somewhat jokey style. I would not like it to be thought that th...

Andy I am in agreement with Ken that the alteration of the Agenda for the AGM initially by the addition of the election for chairman was not properly handled, neither by way of complying with IOMICA's own regulations nor by way of alerting NCAs directly. I didn't spot that first change to the Agenda...

The IOMICA Secretary has advised NCAs this week of a change to the resolutions for the AGM and in the same email has added Unfortunately this will mean that those NCA's that have already started to conduct ballots will need to alter them. According to IOMICA Regulation 4.7, the Agenda for the 2007 A...

An initial 2007 Owners list for GBR was submitted to the IOMICA Secretary on 2nd September.

I would like to advise you that voting for AGM resolutions has now started in GBR.

I would not be very happy to have to start making changes to the resolutions at this stage.

Has anyone checked to see whether you can actually change the Agenda for the AGM now that the process is running in the NCAs.

I have been asked by Ray as his NCA representative to request that the Executive take action on clarifying this matter. Obviously this follows on from Greg's message and supports his suggestion to RoyL. Personally, I would be very happy to see the issue blow up at the Worlds as we would then get som...

Roy

I have now submitted the Request for Clarification (2005-02-27 IOM NCA GBR RFC.doc) by direct email to VCtechnical.

Regards

Roy Thank you for responding to my posting. Firstly, I am not at this point making a request for an interpretation. I am simply asking for some help as to whether the NCA for GBR's advice following the issue of the related formal interpretation is correct. I think it would be useful for the discussi...

Lester This seems the appropriate place to make the posting as the posting is directly related to Interpretation 2005-IOM-1. I trust that the VC Technical and/or VC Measurement will respond in due course (perhaps even to advise that this topic should be moved into another location on the forum). As ...

The NCA for GBR requests confirmation of advice given to IOM NCA member Martin Roberts in respect of the finishing of the outer ends of batten pockets. The NCA for GBR discussion on this topic has been placed on the NCA for GBR section of the MYA web site. Go to the following URL http://mya-uk.org.u...

The NCA for GBR / MYA would like to request further clarification on the submission of rig measurement forms with a new hull measurement form and in particular, on the specific meaning of sections of Interpretation 2005-IOM-1. This request is submitted via a pdf file which can be downloaded from the...

Paragraph 6.3 of the 2004 Report refers to a draft Race Management Manual. You note that this has already been adopted by the RYA for its training and certification programme. I have had a good hunt around and have found no other reference or link to this document. I think it would be very appropria...

The measuring.htm document referred to in the VC Measurement posting of 12th December appears to now be unavailable on the new IOMICA web site.

Hopefully, it will be restored soon ?

Regards

I would like to pick up on Tim's comments re the IOM NCA GBR web pages. In general your comments (Tim) are apreciated and are correct. As the personal responsible to maintaining those web pages, I am very aware that they are not very informative in the way that you would like to see. To explain (and...

Simple question - what is TEXALIUM.
