A legitimate request - some of ths has been confidential information as strategies were developed, but much of it is out in the open now.

Currently, as the March 15th deadline looms, several multihull platforms are being submitted as equipment for selection. The range of performance and cost is broad and meets any criteria that ISAF may finally settle upon. At the same time, multiple submissions from multiple MNAs have been authored for the mid-year meeting that directly challenge the matter of "urgency," require the application of rules associated with appealing the November vote on events, and specifically address the change in voting methods introduced by the US delegation. This effort is being coordinated on an international scale to provide coherence and consistency of message. All of this is supported by providing a well-qualified, articulate, unbiased and informed representative that will be present at ISAF meetings.

Chances of overturning the Estoril vote had been declining, but due to the efforts of sevenal key people around the world, renewed interest by the public from exposure in blogs, newsletters and magazines, and strangely enough by the wording in ISAF's own meeting minutes and regulations, I think that the tide is once again turning.
