Default New Diamond?

I've heard talk of a new diamond's being proposed by
IGC or some such body. Mention was made of a 4th diamond
for a 750km flight to stand between the 500km and the
1000km diploma.

If true, this would pave the way for a fifth diamond
for a goal flight of 750km.

Who knows details about this?

It will show up in the October 1, 2005 revision of the Sporting Code.
It will be a Diploma, not a Diamond. It will differ from the 1000+ km
Diplomas in that it is a national-level award, no international number
will be assigned...

Well, actually the October 1st 2005 version can be downloaded from:
http://www.fai.org/gliding/system/files?file=sc3.pdf

The section you want is 2.1.4
