• Is There a Case in the Future for A Less-Formal Meditation Process
  With the encouragement of Arbitration, it is has over the past few years been noticeable that full protests have decreased. As the renewal of a judge ticket relies on the number of full protests and Arbs are not taken into account, is there going to be a future for only a few judges ?

• RRS 41 (c) OUTSIDE HELP and CASE 120 in Open Waters Racing
  Had a good look at the thread that you provided thanks Angelo and seems to cover a lot of the bases of my posting above:
  Question 1: seems like with what we are actually doing, with our youth team approach, we are just on the 'right side of the law' so to speak (with the current Rule & Case).
  Question 2: given safety etc concerns, and positive technology advancements, would it not better in the future to substitue 'freely' with 'publically' available ('for open water or offshore ocean racing, publically and readily available in the marketplace or such like (ie not custom platforms))?

• Does a competitor "see the incident" if they see it on a video?
  Al, here is a thread we had about it.  People were notified about the error long before 2025.  It may have been that there were so many changes in the last quad that tracking the issue through subsequent revisions simply fell through the cracks. 
  
  It's disappointing that, based on that reply, WS may not publish a fix for 2026. If that's true, I just don't understand that.

• Class breaks in handicap racing
  Personally, the best rating/handicap system will be the one that allows level rating racing to resume. I presume that I am not alone in beleiving that high point of cruiser racing was when the elite events were the various Ton Cups.

  'overthinking' vs 'misthinking'
  
  As a Moderator of the forum, I'd like to (again) discourage everyone from using those terms in replies to others.
  
  There is no reason to characterize someone else's post or thought process as an over/under amount of thought.  If you disagree and want to make a counterpoint, make it directly. 
  
  The person characterizing others as such risks insulting the recipient of the characterization and that risks stifling participation on the forum.
