Default IGC to replace FLARM ? ?

The budget of 20.000€ for design, development and procurement of
IGC owned glider tracking system for use in WGC’s. Standards for the
system are still to be determined but will focus on safety, fairness and
transparency

Not allow organizers of the championships to mandate a particular
FLARM mode, in order to restore the basic proximity warning function
of the device. Intention is to develop own fully secured tracking
function with a possibility of time delay.

The Stewards group to involve software experts and analysts in
discussions on possible use of the safety proximity tool at the future
IGC championships.
