WORLD COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
Friday, November 13, 2009 (517 reads)


From The Chairman
 
All Class members are requested to read the Minutes of the WCM recently held in Malmo Sweden. They are to be found under  Organisation  and World Council in the above menu.
 
I would like you to note in particular  the following:
 
The Actions approved by the WCM provide the Authority for the Executive Committee and International Technical Committee to move forward these issues in the year up to the next WCM. Please know what these actions are and be prepared to help in bringing them to fruition. It is advisable also to have read the Class Strategy Paper, also on this website, so you can understand the longer term proposals for Class development.
 
There are a number of exciting Regattas Worldwide planned for 2010. Be sure you know where and where they are NOW so you can get your teams up and running in good time, thus greatly helping the Organising Authorities.
 
Marketing and Promotion of the Class is very  difficult in a period of economic downturn. Can you help.? There may be people in the Class with marketing skills, please come forward.!!  National J24 Class Associations are required to nominate a National Marketing and Promotion person to the Chair, unless the National Secretary can perform the task him or herself. It was most disappointing to note that our Class Magazine was not produced this year primarily due to lack of input. Input of this nature, like most aspects of our Class Administration comes as  no surprise, it happens every year at the same time. Please read the Annual List of Returns in the Class Documents section and comply, it will really help the Class Officials.
 
Of concern were the 2 disciplinary issues at item 9 of the Agenda  which had to be handled by the World Council. The first involved a Class member in Italy who was unable to comply with the Class Regatta Regulations which are by laws, and also behaved in a manner unacceptable to the International Class. The second, in the USA involved  the provision of a World Championship Charterboat  which did not comply with Class rules. The lessons in both cases are, know your International Class Constitution, Rules and By Laws and abide by them.
 
Finally, I would like to stress that communication remains the name of the game, and if you have comments or ideas, please make them known through your National or International Class officials so we can evaluate them quickly and correctly.
 
Best Wishes,
Bob Turner

Chairman, International J24 Class

2009 WORLD COUNCIL MEETING
Tuesday, July 21, 2009 (838 reads)


 Message from the IJCA Chairman: 

The 2009 World Council meeting will take place in Malmö Sweden 26 and 27 September and will be hosted by the Swedish J/24 Class. This will also provide the opportunity to meet the organisers and discuss on site the arrangements for the next year’s World Championship. Strong support for this meeting is requested and already a busy agenda, with important issues to be decided, is growing. 

All Class members are encouraged to ensure that their delegates are well briefed and represent their views. The delegates must also be aware of the routine timescales for ensuring that proposals are forwarded to the appropriate Class officials in time for them to be properly evaluated and presented in a form for circulation and voting. This is particularly relevant for proposals which require a formal Class Rule change, the flow diagram for which is to be found elsewhere on this web site.

Items for the agenda are to be submitted to the International Class Chairman and Executive Director by 1 August. The draft agenda will then be circulated to all NJCAs and officials for comment before it is set 14 August. This will allow nations sufficient time to prepare for the meeting. 

The arrangements in Malmö are being co-ordinated by Marianne Schoke, Swedish NJCA President, who has obtained a discounted hotel price for delegates. It should be noted that Malmö is 15 minutes by train directly from the international airport in Copenhagen, Denmark. An early notice to Marianne on attendance would be appreciated, also, those Nations who are unable to be present at the meeting, may wish to exercise their proxy option.

Early actions by Class members to ensure a smooth running and successful WCM are requested.
 
Bob Turner
Chairman, IJCA

IJCA Mourns Loss of Geoff Evelyn
Tuesday, June 30, 2009 (808 reads)


The International J/24 Class Association is sad to report that past IJCA Chairman and Councilor of Honor, Geoff Evelyn of Canada, passed away Saturday, June 27, 2009, at age 64 after suffering complications from a brain hematoma. Geoff was a long-time supporter of the J/24 Class and volunteered many hours to helping the Class, both as the Chairman and more recently as a Councilor of Honor. Geoff's spirit and devotion to the sport of sailing will be sadly missed.
Geoff is survived by his wife, Wendy; daughter Jenn, and grandson Curtis Tureck. A memorial service will be held on Thursday, July 2nd. Condolences can be expressed at http://www.courticefuneralchapel.com/obituaries-details.php?id=235 through the link on the right side of the screen.

In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that people make a contribution to the charity of their choice. The website also allows you to note your charitable contribution and share that with the family.

Regards,
Eric Faust
Executive Director
J/24 Class Association
