So the Jan edition of Laserworld is out and includes a summary from the ILCA World Council Meeting. The following jumped out regarding proposals ISAF are working on. Trying to find the ISAF side of the story. Anybody know more?

“The proposed format change would reduce the number of competitors at World Cup events with entry by invitation only. In addition, the world championship title for all Olympic classes would be awarded to the winner of the World Cup series and would no longer be awarded at the ILCA championship.
Another ISAF issue affecting the Laser Class relates to the number of world championships a class is allowed to hold. The ISAF Regulations limit the number of world championships to four. If ISAF chooses to enforce this regulation, it could mean a reduction in the number of ILCA world titles and possibly stripping the world title from the Masters’ World Championships and one or more Radial World Championships. ILCA is opposed to this arbitrary limit on world championships and is committed to working with the ISAF so that the class can continue to host all its class championships in the future.”
