ISAF REGULATIONS (PART VI) 2008

I've been studying the new Regulations PART VI - ADMINISTRATION OF RACING RULES, EQUIPMENT RULES AND RACE OFFICIALS.
In this part of the ISAF regulations, among other things, the requirements for appointment as an International Race official are regulated. A new version is just published on the ISAF web site: Go here to download the pdf-file.

I tried to make sense of the requirements of the different disciplines and find some comparison. The list is quite complicated and I had to go back and fort to get it right (hope I have):

INTERNATIONAL JUDGE:
(for initial appointment, in four years prior to application)

• Served on three PCs for principle fleet race events, of which two on Int.Juries and one outside own country group. Reg.33.11.1(c)
• Attended a IJ Seminar and Passed the IJ Test. Reg.33.11.1(a)&(b)
• IJSC REFERENCE FORM (three by Chairman of Int.Jury) Reg.33.11.1(d)

(for re-appointment every four years)

• Served on six PCs for principle race events, of which at least four fleet race events, three on Int.Juries and two outside own country group (this means if you are also an IU, you can use two principle match race events) Reg. 33.11.2
• IJ REPORT FORM (every event)

INTERNATIONAL UMPIRE:
(for initial appointment, in four years prior to application)

• Acted as Umpire for eight principle match race events, of which one outside own country group or MNA (depends on your own MNA's group)Reg 33.12 (f)
• IUSC REFERENCE FORM (three by Chief Umpire of a main event, but not for events prior to 7 November 2007). Reg. 33.12.(g)
• Attended an IU Seminar and Passed the IU Test Reg 33.12 (c)&(d)
• ISAF PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT FORM (passed once) Reg. 33.12.(e)

(for re-appointment every four years)

• Acted as Umpire for eight principle match race events, of which one outside own country group or MNA (depends on your own MNA's group). Reg 33.12 (f)
• IU REPORT FORM (every event)
• Passed the IU Test. Reg 33.12 (d)
• IUSC REFERENCE FORM (three by Chief Umpire of a main event, but not for events prior to 7 November 2007). Reg. 33.12.(g)
• Assessment by one or more members of the GROUPING PANEL (secretly at main events every year, if a grouping panel member is attending). Reg. 33.19

INTERNATIONAL RACE OFFICER:
(for initial appointment, in four years prior to application)

• PRO in four principal and four other events Reg 33.14 (a)&(b)
• Attended an IRO Seminar and Passed the IRO Test. Reg. 33.14 (f)
• IRO REPORT FORM (every event)
• Letter of recommendation from Class Association or OA. Reg 33.14 (c)

(for re-appointment every four years)

• PRO in four principal and four other events Reg 33.14 (a)&(b)
• IRO REPORT FORM (every event)
• Letter of recommendation from Class Association or OA. Reg 33.14 (c)

Perhaps an excel-sheet makes more sense? This is what I came up with:Most of the requirements are the same as last year, with one major exception. As far as I can ascertain to be re-appointed as an IU, you need 3 IUSC Reference forms filled in by the Chief Umpire. I wonder how a chief umpire fills this requirement. He or she must do at least 3 events not as a chief, as far as I can see.
I've looked for the FORM on the site, but it is not available as of yet.

If you think I got it wrong or have improvements, please use the comments button. This is almost more complicated than the rules......
