Scott Perry – Vice-President 1. Opening of the Meeting (a) Communication from the President The President welcomed everyone to the meeting and gave an outline of the many and varied trips he had made on behalf of ISAF over the last few months and of developments with PKRA. The Sailing World Cup in Hyères was the first regatta under the new ISAF contract and prize money was given for the first time. Even though ISAF branding was enhanced at Hyères he felt that further improvements with the ISAF branding could be made but the President was pleased to see the temporary House of ISAF and he looks forward to seeing the new ISAF House in Weymouth. Gary Jobson and his Marketing and Media team did an incredible job with live TV and it was pleasing to learn about the high viewing numbers. The President expressed a wish that ISAF investigate hiring an international body to test the waters in Rio. Over the Mid-Year meeting period however, and following many discussions on this topic, it had become apparent that there were other possibilities that ISAF could follow and that these various leads would be followed up. The President outlined the World Sailing League concept and voiced his concern that it has become apparent they are by-passing MNAs and approach Yacht Clubs directly. Decisions EX_MIN_2015_05 Page 1 of 15 Executive Committee Minutes (cont.) 1. The Secretariat is to review and enhance the protection of ISAF intellectual property as a priority. 2. ISAF will liaise with the IKA and a report is to be made to the Executive Committee concerning developments with the PKRA (Kitesurfing). 3. ISAF will seek to get some information from an independent international authority regarding the pollution in Rio. It was noted that some MNAs had already instigated some tests and the Secretariat would make contact to see if this information could be shared as it might be more appropriate for ISAF to spend the money on Eco boats at the Test Event and Olympic Sailing Competition. (b) Minutes The minutes of the Executive Committee meeting of 13, 14, 15 February 2015 (circulated and approved after the meeting) were noted. (c) Minutes Matters Arising i) Item 2(j)(i) – Vice-Chairman of the Development and Youth Committee Three possible candidates for the position of Vice-chairman were presented to the Executive to consider.

This review was carried out against the background of the ASOIF Governance Paper. Decision Currently a candidate for election as President or Vice-President must be nominated by at least five Member National Authorities and there is no requirement for the candidate’s own MNA to be one of these. On balance, the present system is favoured. Under the current Constitution and Regulations there is no requirement for candidates to provide information concerning their candidacy – it is customary but not enforceable. A submission will be made this year to allow the Election Committee to require candidates to provide information about their candidacy and to publish this. A submission will also be prepared to allow Council to appoint the Election Committee having considered a proposal from the Executive Committee. This will be implemented post 2016.

Decision ISAF should only receive reports from major events – ISAF should not involve itself in national level or minor international regatta cases. (l) Review Board The Executive Committee noted the resignations from the Review Board of Josje Hofland (NED), Charlie Manzoni (HKG), David Tillett (AUS) and Bryan Willis (GBR). Decision The Executive Committee recommend that Council approve David Kellett (AUS) to be appointed to the Review Board. (m) Company Structure i) ISAF Event Management Ltd Scott Perry presented a proposal for the new MoU and Articles of Association for ISAF Event Management Ltd. Decision The Executive Committee agreed the proposal for implementation as soon as practicable. ii) Inter Company Agreements The Executive Committee understood the need for Inter Company Agreements. Decision The Executive Committee requested that the Chairman of the Audit Committee review the draft Inter Company Agreements and, if satisfied, the Secretariat should proceed to their implementation. iii) Swiss Foundation Christophe Langenauer met the Executive Committee and outlined the plans for an independent Swiss Foundation.

It was important to have the submission ready for the November 2015 Annual Conference so MNAs will know what Committees they are nominating to.

  • La Vela a Tokyo 2020
    Carissimi, siamo finalmente giunti a questo appuntamento Olimpico! Lo Sport – nella più nobile delle sue funzioni – potrà riunire tutti sotto un’unica bandiera: quella della solidarietà, del rispetto e della sana competizione. Questi lunghi mesi che ci stiamo lasciando faticosamente alle spalle hanno severamente provato il nostro spirito e ci hanno costretto a considerare in maniera più genuina i rapporti umani, le priorità della nostra vita, i nostri affetti. Lo Sport in questo contesto ha rafforzato la sua valenza sociale dimostrandosi un collante e nel contempo una valvola di sfogo. Questi Giochi devono e vogliono rappresentare una rinascita verso un graduale ritorno alla normalità, senza però dimenticare quanto accaduto. Preparare una spedizione Olimpica non è affatto semplice, soprattutto in uno sport come il nostro dove la preparazione atletica è solo uno dei molteplici componenti: meteorologia, tecnologia, programmazione, logistica, gestione delle risorse sono solo alcuni degli aspetti che attraversano in maniera trasversale il mondo della vela. Per questo vorrei ringraziare tutti coloro che hanno partecipato alla formazione di questa squadra: il Direttore Tecnico Michele Marchesini, tutti i Tecnici che in questo quadriennio hanno lavorato meticolosamente, il Team Manager Guglielmo Vatteroni, e tutto il comparto tecnico, medico e atletico dei collaboratori. Per ultimo – ma non certo per importanza, visto che questa pubblicazione è dedicata proprio a loro – il mio pensiero va ai ragazzi che ci rappresenteranno ai Giochi Olimpici: questi anni di preparazione li hanno visti maturare come atleti ma soprattutto sotto il profilo umano. Il mio augurio è che possano raccogliere il massimo da questa esperienza che rimane uno dei momenti più alti e indimenticabili nella vita di uno sportivo.

  • World Sailing Youth Worlds - Malaysia Washes Hands of Israeli Travesty 1/6 ページ
    Sail World - World Sailing Youth Worlds - Malaysia washes hands of Israeli travesty 1/6 ページ Search articles News Features Cruising Photos Videos Events Newsletters Submit Select Language ▼ World Sailing Youth Worlds - Malaysia washes hands of Israeli travesty by Richard Gladwell, Sail-World.com NZL Dec 26, 2015, 09:34:00 ( 東京 ( 標準時)) RS:X Competitors - 2014 ISAF Youth Worlds, Portugal © Neuza Aires Pereira | ISAF Youth Worlds The effective banning of the current world champions from the World Sailing (formerly ISAF) Youth Sailing Championships has been dismissed by the Malaysian authorities. The reason given by the Government is that Visas have not been issued because Malaysia does not have any diplomatic ties with Israel. A report in the Malay Daily Online on Christmas Day quotes Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin saying that Malaysia accepts the withdrawal of two Israeli athletes from the Youth Sailing World Championships in Langkawi, two days before the event gets under way. He indicated that there wasn’t much that could be done to help the Israelis who held Malaysia accountable for their absence at the world windsurfing tournament, as Putrajaya has to abide by its diplomatic policy. “We accept the decision by the Israeli Youth Team to withdraw from participating in ISAF YWC 2015. As this is a diplomatic issue, we are guided by the existing policy of the Malaysian Government,” he told Malay Mail Online when contacted for response. The tactic of withholding visas, and hiding behind governmental policies and protocols was a favorite ploy of South African authorities to control the entry of non-white sports people to South Africa for international competition during the Apartheid era.
