I signed the petition. Note that a MNA can petition anything that suits its interests, but it is a long way to actually get it.
They are certainly asking for something that the French (or whoever) don't want, only to negotiate dropping the whole thing in exchange for something else they want. It is the political equivalent of kidnapping or blackmail - and I HATE it.
This is the type of thing that the UK does (a lot) to stay on top of ISAF's rankings and Olympic events. It is hardly a surprise that they never won the only race with rules partially made elsewhere: The America's Cup. Don't be surprised if one day the UK presents a submission requesting that ISAF decides everything related to the AC. Match Racing rules were created as a first step in this direction.
