For those of you who may wish to remain anonymous but still wish to sign this petition, you basically have 2 options.



1) you can choose to show your name, city and state is all that is displayed (your address and other info remains private and is only used to validate the signature by the petition target (SSA Rules Committee) if needed.



2) you can check a box to remain anonymous. Your City, State appears but your name does not. The name will be visible to the petition targets if the petition signatures are requested for validation.



The petition targets (US RC) may try and disqualify some of our signatures based on little or no contest experience, little or no SSA contest participation, glider currently owned, etc. Perhaps a statement on your enthusiasm for a true racing class vs. SSA rules (all existing US classes). Please consider adding some basic information on your background, contest history and the glider you own, fly etc so that we can show the US RC that YOU ARE worth considering.



Here is some additional petition signature information that you may find useful:

Who will see my signature information?



There are several ways your signature information may be shared:



Public Petition Signature pages. Certain fields will be displayed on the publicly displayed signature page for all to see. Your email address, street address and telephone number are never displayed on this page. You are always given the option to check a box to hide your name, and replace it with the word "anonymous." You are also required to preview your signature before you submit it, to prevent mistakes.



Petition Author / Target. At the close of the petition, we provide all of the signature information to the petition author with the exception of your email address, street address and telephone number. These fields of information will only be shared with the petition author and target on a case by case basis to verify the validity of your signature.



Your Privacy is Important: PetitionSite.com and Care2.com believe in protecting personal privacy on line. To this end, we are a member of the independent watchdog group, Truste.org. Please see our full privacy statement on Care2.com.

The U.S. is moving towards recognizing the Club Class in 2013. A poll has been created to validate interest in establishing FAI (IGC) rules / tasking philosophy in this new class. If approved the U.S. Club Class would be the ONLY U.S. racing class under FAI (IGC) racing rules.







Please sign the petition IF YOU are interested in supporting or flying US Club Class under FAI (IGC) rules / tasking philosophy.







In the optional personal comment section please enter (if applicable):



1. Your position on the US seeding list.



2. If you have access to or own a Club Class glider, what type.



3. If you are familiar with IGC rules and prefer those rules over US rules.



4. If you would financially or otherwise support development of the US Club Class under FAI (IGC) rules.



5. If you don't currently fly US contests but would start flying US Club Class under FAI (IGC) rules.



6. If you currently fly US contests (Standard, Open, 15m, 18m or Sports) and are interested in flying US Club Class under FAI (IGC) rules.



7. Any other comments welcome!

What's up Sean, another day, another petition?
I thought you were busy working out the details for a Grand Prix event, you know rules and such and of course the hold-harmless releases for the organizer. Good luck with all these initiatives.
