The CIVL President has to keep the FAI appraised of how they are doing. Stephane
Malbos gave his report yesterday and you can read it (it takes about two
minutes) at the URL above. A few highlights:

In 2017, we had 358 Second Category events (359 in 2016, 383 in
2014 and 2013). Paragliding Cross Country and Aerobatic and Hang Gliding are
stable, …

Big efforts on media. The mandatory use of live tracking devices in our First
Category competitions added significantly to risk management and
publicity/marketing, with the latter area being a fertile area for opportunity
and growth…

CIVL hired an Administrator. The aim is to build a sustainable CIVL where the
administrative and communication work are ran on a day to day basis by a paid
person, as counting on volunteers only has proved to be not always efficient.

CIVL has created its own Facebook page. It is successful so far. We are in a
trial period and haven’t decided if we would keep it or not.

CIVL software scheme. Scoring software not satisfactory. A new collaboration
agreement with a flight instrument manufacturer should be signed soon.
