It states that it is takes effect 7/1/10. This is relevant to any request for redress. I imagine you are probably aware of it, but just in case it, I quote it below. Rule 63.2 After rule 63.2 add US SAILIG prescribes that when redress has been requested or is to be considered, the protest committee shall make a reasonable attempt to notify all boats of the time and place of the hearing and the nature of the request or the grounds for considering redress. Before holding the hearing, the committee shall allow reasonable time for boats to make written requests to participate. Regards, Eric _____ No virus found in this incoming message.
