Default Proposed 2017 US Competition Rules Changes

In multiple places the word "nominal" is used such as:

6.12.4 15-Meter Class
6.12.4.1 Nominal wingspan is 15.0 meters.
6.12.2 Multiseat Class
6.12.2.1 Nominal wingspan is 20.0 meters.

It seems to me that the more appropriate word would be "maximum". Or is it just "nominal" here because there is a more in-depth definition of the glider classes that is fully included or specifically referred to elsewhere? [such as a reference to the FAI definitions].

BTW I think the RC did a good job of simplifying a lot of the rules language.

Read section 6.9 with respect to measurement of wing span.

I don't see any mention of the CD's decision on use of Flarm, stealth etc.

Did I miss it or was this dropped from the final version?

Thanks to the RC!
