Plenary planning

Planning is underway for the CIVL Plenary, 9 to 10 February 2008, in Manzanillo, Mexico. The various Subcommittee and Working Group meetings will take place, immediately prior, on 7 and 8 February. All CIVL delegates have already been notified directly of the meetings. The deadline for written proposals for inclusion on the Plenary agenda is 10 December, 2007. The deadline for electronic copies of bids for 2010 Category 1 competitions, is also 10 December, 2007.
The Agenda will be published by 21 December, 2007.
Information about the CIVL Plenary Meeting in February 2008 in Manzanillo (Mexico) can be found on the following website: http://www.femeda.com.mx/aero/cm8-0.htm

It was decided last year that Subcommittee and Working Group meetings should run over two days, rather than just holding them all on one day. This will allow delegates to contribute to several discussions as well as giving Subcommittee and Working Group chairmen more time to coordinate the discussion of issues common to more than one discipline or activity.

Proposals for inclusion on the Plenary agenda should be coordinated by your nation’s CIVL Delegate. Proposal or issues for discussion at Subcommittee or Working Group meetings should be raised with the relevant chairman, or with a subcommittee/working group member.

At the 2008 Plenary, FAI Category 1 competition bids are expected for Continental Hang Gliding, Paragliding, Paragliding Accuracy and Aerobatics Championships to be held in 2010. It was announced at the 2007 Plenary that Japan would be bidding at the next meeting for the 2nd Asian Paragliding Championships, 2010.

A Jury & Steward training session will also be held in Manzanillo - date and time to be confirmed.

Nominations for FAI Awards, should also be submitted by 10 December 2007. See http://www.fai.org/hang_gliding/awards and http://www.fai.org/documents/constitution for further information.
