Default US: International Squad Ranking List for 2016 with Benalla WGCIncluded now Online

Good morning "Turn Area Task only" not racing fans!!!

Warning: This thread concerns only FAI rules and in no way relates to the US Rules experiment and isolation program (your area task safe space). Reading ahead any further may cause discomfort.

"Content removed, sorry" counter: One hundred eight days. 1 0 8 d a y s! 🤷*♀️

Today is Wednesday May 10, 2017. The US International Team ranking content was unpublished without explanation on January 22, 2017 after being published for a week or so.

In only twelve more days the "Sorry, content removed" status of our US International Soaring Teams ranking data (care of the US Team Committee) will have been unavailable to us for 4 months...with ZERO explanation.

Will those "in charge?" make it to four months? Why the secrecy? Why not make some kind of announcement? I've been hearing for three months now that the content will be republished in "just a few days," over and over and over. Zilch. Nada. Yet here we are on day 108. Perhaps we need some new people involved with this project who can communicate openly and properly?

I sure hope the forthcoming explanation of this FOUR MONTH delay (assuming that the content is finally going to be "re-released") is complete and FULLY explains all circumstances which resulted in this delay and how any conclusions or changes were reached. I also hope that ALL who were involved in this process are available for open (public, on the record) discussion and are willing to answer any questions both immediately and publicly (on the record).

The secret nature of this "issue(s)?" is entirely unacceptable. Sadly it is also not uncommon within this "society."

Furthermore, why isn't the SSAs US Team content part of the SSAs only website? Why does this content reside (or not reside "content removed, sorry") on some separate, non-SSA website (soaringweb.org)? No other country seems to do this. Why does the SSA not own this content?
