Election Class Officers:

Class President: Tim Chin (current acting class president) elected by the ExCom to Class President
Vice President: Phillip Infelise elected by the ExCom to Class Vice President

Other Business:

1. It was noted in Draft A11 that carbon fiber was omitted from the mainsail section -- ITC to provide a clarification.
2. Request for better definition of "owner" -- ITC to add Q&A section to address the "between the line" type information.

Note: This is the first time we used the Citrix Webinar conferencing tool -- the general feeling was that it worked well as a global conferencing tool and the proceeding was smooth. There was one case of technical difficulty in getting audio -- we will try to help that member resolve the problem for future discussions.
