Powered flight is not Gliding.

Motor-assisted touring, racing, badge flying, and records are all interesting.

But they all have homes in other FAI Commissions. CASI has rules for airplanes (including electric), and CIMA governs microlights (including electric).. I'm sure that these Commissions work hard to make their sports attractive..

But my sport is Gliding. I want to do the best I can using the energy I find in the atmosphere, and I want to compare my performance with others doing the same thing. The method of my launch and retrieval are not relevant. I want a precise definition of "soaring," and I want fair rules to follow.

IGC should stick to Gliding.
