Wasn't the vote held in secret?. So we cant be sure unless someone leaks the voting details.

Would I believe US Sailing on how they voted..
Based on past behavior, as its the only indicator I have, not as far as I can drop kick a 500 kg football..

The NMAs have entrenched political and vested interests now in maintaining the new status quo.. Nothing less than blackmail event will see the reinstatement of Cats in 2012..

IOC wants a high profile money making event.. This means good TV rights thus revenues and sailing as a event isnt high of the TV stations lists.. Honestly sailing isnt a money spinner for IOC.. The big advertisers arent involved in much below global IRC events.. Where luxury items can be marketed to the masses..

The NMAs want results and which brings sponsorship moneys.. Cats arent bring revenue raisers thus their voice, no matter how many smiles the Executive committee of ISAF and the various NMAs give, is not listened to.. But a schism would cause a jolt to their collective egos..

If one could find out which NMA voted against cats them a full ban would be in order.. ie no major cat title should be held in that country.. Officials from that country asked to work on a "ISAF cat event" asked politely to leave the event. NMAs that voted for the Cats asked to ban officials from NMAs that voted against the cats vote..

I am sure if ICF opened serious talks with IMC then ISAF would change its tune a little..
