Rhodysail,
Although it seems unlikely, maybe the announcement about the recommendation for the new youth boat was made this early to give people a chance to give input about it before the final decision is made in November.

But, how and to whom does one give such input to ISAF? There has been lots of input in this thread on this forum, but I'm sure ISAF does not see it. There must be some way to communicate with ISAF, but I don't know what it is. It doesn't do much good for us to all be just talking to each other if it doesn't get to the decisionmakers. The only way I know is to write to the Secretariat and hope it will be passed on to the relevant people.

Do you know if there is a more direct way to communicate?
