In Early March the ISAF website said it had received the filing from Bennett. <br />That information seems to have been removed from the ISAF website. <br />Is some revisionist history being played out here?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02805283253532287778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20113676.post-87184905397463870462010-06-03T01:17:04.583-07:002010-06-03T01:17:04.583-07:001) ISAF didn't agree to "PRO by committee...1) ISAF didn't agree to "PRO by committee" - Harold Bennett did. <br /><br />2) ISAF can't take any action. It has received no report "alleging a gross breach of a rule, good manners or sportsmanship, a<br />report alleging conduct that has brought the sport into disre-<br />pute, or a report required by rule 69.1(c) or 69.1(e)," and therefore can't take any action under 69. And <br /><br />Or are you suggesting that ISAF abandon the concept of the rule of law, and just decide to punish people no matter what?Ed Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15766721760867954000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20113676.post-5574753197269184752010-06-01T20:36:46.252-07:002010-06-01T20:36:46.252-07:00Perhaps I am missing a subtlety here, but what I r...Perhaps I am missing a subtlety here, but what I read in ISAF's report is the supposed worldwide authority on sailing indicating they are actually inconsequential concerning sailing. It truly doesn't get much more pathetic than that, does it?Greg Lovekampnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20113676.post-62016319088554898222010-06-01T06:56:42.101-07:002010-06-01T06:56:42.101-07:00Nice to know the end of this sad story in the hist...Nice to know the end of this sad story in the history of the Cup. It seems the lesson learned is that the writers of the Deed of Gift knew best, and ISAF is just not up to adding any value to an AC challenge. Kudos to Harold Bennett who did the right thing. It is just unbelievable that ISAF could agree to "PRO by committee". One can only assume that ISAF does not comprehend leadership, and a PRO with the authority to employ his judgement. <br />Fortuately, BMW Oracle and Mascalzone Latino seem to be focused on the 'mutual consent' clause with the shared goal of a competitive match to restore the majesty and integrity of America's Cup competition.<br />Peter RuggUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02805283253532287778noreply@blogger.com
