Sorry but I have to disagree with you on nobody taking control of world championships.
I meet a guy at my sailing club who said he was a “world champion”. I sat down trying to gain more knowledge from these “champion”. After a few beers he told me there were five boats at these “world championships”. Three came from his club and two from a neighbouring club. This guy might have been a great sailor but somehow I don’t think I would put in world champion status for beating 4 boats.
If an organisation doesn’t have control of world championships then we shall have more people claiming to be world champions. Under your system you can run your “worlds”, then I could also run a Wave Worlds and claim to be the world champion.
Under the current system while it is not perfect at least some sort of criteria has to be meet. So when I meet a guy in the bar and he claims to be a world champion then at least another organisation recognised the achievement. There were guidelines meet and this person is worthy to be called a world champion. It wasn’t the local yacht club saying in “ The third Sunday of next month we will call it a world championships”.
But that should be the topic of another thread that will surely get a heated debate
