Do any of the US Sailing sailing folks on this board have any more info on this?

Excerpt from Bob Merrick on SailJuice blog

First the Good News: Last weekend at the US Sailing Spring meeting, the US
Sailing Multihull Council (MHC) introduced the following motion to the US
Sailing House of Delegates to recommend to the Board of Directors that the
US Delegation to ISAF support one or more of the March 2008 Submissions
calling for a re-vote on Olympic Events for the 2012 Games in Great Britain.
The MHC contends that a re-vote on all ten events is fairer than the
Submissions that call for a limited run-off vote of a partial slate.

After considerable discussion, the motion was approved unanimously. What is
the House of Delegates? The US Sailing website describes it, in short, as an
organization intended to serve as an avenue and voice for member sailors.
The House membership consists of delegates from the fifteen councils within
US SAILING and the chairs of the five US SAILING Divisions. The House is
often referred to as the council of councils, with members of the US SAILING
Board of Directors often attending their meetings as observers in order to
hear the debate.

So that’s the good news. The “voice for member sailors” in the United States
unanimously voted in favor of a motion that “the US Delegation to ISAF
support one or more of the March 2008 Submissions calling for a re-vote on
Olympic Events for the 2012 Games.” Now for the bad news: The 15 member US
Sailing Board of Directors firmly rejected the motion put forward by the
House of Delegates. So much for listening to the “voice” of the sailors. --
