8. Rule Changes

a) amend A7.2 so that nominations for International Officers have to be received by International Secretary no later than one month before the date of the AGM in the year of election. At present the date is fixed at 31 July, which causes problems if the AGM is held earlier in the year. - Proposed by IEC.

b) Empower the IEC to modify Championship Rules 5.6 and 5.7 (Category B advertising) with effect from 1 January 2000 to take account of the anticipated changes in the ISAF advertising code which are to be voted on at the ISAF Annual Meeting in November. The intention will be only to make those modifications necessary to bring the spirit and effect of our existing rules within the new ISAF framework. The modification made by the IEC will be subject to ratification at the 2000 AGM. - Proposed by IEC
