Some revisionist history going on he I was on SSA Board of Directors
when the World Class was proposed, and these NEVER were the goals. NO
ONE, at the time, espoused the idea that everyone, or even a large
minority, would want to fly the World Class Glider.


Now that really makes sense!!!!
Invent a class and a glider no-one really wants to fly in/with!

And you actually succeeded. Congratulations.

Finally I understand what goes on at the IGC meetings and in the
various sub-comissions: they actually try to do things nobody wants
and see if they can get it through the plenary voting. The Toilet
Class (WC) is not the only such thing. Many rules and task definitions
seem to have come in to being just like that.
