Hey Matt, whats with the language? Want to heat this up or cool it down? I have been pretty frustrated myself, but lets keep it cool.
This is not just Wouter you know, I am also concerned so pointing only at him is not fair.

It is good to hear that there were no discussion about changing the status of this forum as the main line of communication within the class by creating a closed forum. That is what both Wouter and I wanted in the clear. Thanks for putting a stop to that notion. Would have been great if it had come earlier so we would not have had to go trough this.
The technical committee was new to me, and I try to keep informed about things. Dont you think mentioning this new creation beforehand would have been proper? It is really no big thing with the mandate outlined here, but it do raise the question if there is anything else going on. No "conspiracy theories" but I hope you can agree that proper communication like we used to enjoy is much better than rumours and surprises like this and the ISAF recognized status.


Not to heat things up with a snide comment, but I honestly found it odd that the F-16 TC was formed with A-cat sailors and only Phill as a class insider. Phill is easily worth 4 A-cat sailors (and that was a joke) so I am not worried, but some more diversity would be good. I am certain we could have found many good candidates if the class had been consulted by a 5 minute post on the forum.
