Nevertheless I'm "between the rock and a hard place" not knowing what I can write about or not.<br />If you look at what IOC publishes, they just give a guideline based purely on their interests.<br />Couldn't ISAF do the same and build in a clause that any individuals legal system - depending on which country they live - takes precedence. And only if those give more freedom than the ones ISAF is willing to give, the latter come into effect.<br />Create a baseline for everyone, and leave it to the individual RO to decide if his or her national rights are more restrictive or not?Joshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10346870418220762709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170261917486213112.post-77044017611434140302012-01-09T19:25:56.137+01:002012-01-09T19:25:56.137+01:00Jos,

This topic will be extremely difficult for any organization with the ponderous reaction time of ISAF (let alone the local National sailing organizations) to keep up with what's going on. One need only observe that many of these tools simply didn't exist a few years ago, at least not at large scale, to realize that any code or regulation will be far behind the realities of the technology. <br /><br />In addition to a lack of ability to keep up, the various rights of and restrictions on individuals around the world are quite different. Some areas, like he UK and the US, have quite specific laws governing freedom of speech and expression which could limit ISAF's jurisdiction. Others have quite detailed restrictions on these activities, and would not allow some of the activities that ISAF is probably hoping to encourage. Given the underlying legal systems within the various countries in which Umpires, Judges and Race Officers live and perform their tasks are so different and indeed in conflict, it would seem that the only possible course would be to leave all this to the legislative bodies within the countries.<br /><br />It is not at all clear that ISAF or any other non-governmental body will improve on a inconsistently regulated and highly culturally sensitive activity like this sort of publishing. Despite a desire to manage, guide and control on the part of ISAF, the various nationalities will make a mockery of these attempts if they come into conflict with local law.<br /><br />BeauBeau Vrolykhttp://web.me.com/beau_vrolyk/Sagaponoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170261917486213112.post-2427452966806879192012-01-08T07:31:14.370+01:002012-01-08T07:31:14.370+01:00@Tillerman,
