Subject: RE: Proposals for International Fliers Federation



John Mitchell's helpful definition of "international" brings us back
to the central question of my earlier post: Does the IFF
hope to focus on worldwide issues, or primarily European ones?

Some of the concerns Jeremy raised were regional ones, and some
were global. MY concern is that forming another organization
(rather than working within the ones we have) may simply add
to to the confusion. Witness the continuing questions that
hang over the AKA and AKM circuits...

I read in another post that the current AKA rules committee
"clearly" has no competitive fliers as members. This confused me.
As I reported before, Bob Childs, Mike Simmons, Abel Ortega,
Darrin Skinner, and Sue Taft comprise five of the current nine
committee members. If they aren't competitors, well then, what
are they??

But that wasn't Jeremy's point. His concerns are real ones. I
just think we need to clarify them in order to determine where
each one can be best addressed.
