For CIVL Bureau, Stephane Malbos, President writes:

2015 and 2016 have seen a number of Category 2 competitions
appearing on the FAI calendar and then disappearing, sometimes just before the
competition takes part, because they are ‘de-sanctioned’ at the request of the
organizing NAC or by FAI (the NAC being suspended).

CIVL Bureau believes that in such cases pilots should not be penalized. Hence,
CIVL Bureau has decided that since it was elected, last February 21st, all
competitions that appeared on the FAI calendar at one time would be taken in
account for CIVL World Pilot Ranking System (WPRS), whether the competition was
sanctioned or not when it took place.

The Bureau decision takes effect immediately but will have to be confirmed or
rejected by the coming Plenary in February.
