Today we have finished work on two sections of IDNIYRA OFFICIAL SPECIFICATIONS.
Thanks to modern technology, Technical Committee met six times online for two-hour sessions each to prepare a updated version of the class rules.
We would like to thank Warren Nethercote for laying the foundation for the committee’s work. Without Warren’s work, it would not be possible to achieve our goals.
We hope that our work will be positively received by members of the DN class and that the proposed rule format will be voted on.
TC members will be happy to answer any questions that may arise after publication in Runner Tracks [September 2022].
On behalf of TC,
Tomek Zakrzewski, P-55

- Rewrite to deliver more user friendly wording
- Enrich each section with measurement guide incl. measurement drawings
- Consolidate fragmented sections

Short update:
This week, we held first ever online meeting of DN Technical Committee. It was a great opening of new TC setup.
TC has recognized great effort of Warren Nethercote who offered thoughts on revised class specifications. We will take it as a starting point to deliver ballot proposals section by section by early October 2022. The goal is to make rules more clear and reader friendly and eliminate obvious confusions.
TC will appreciate any valuable input from class members.
Stay tuned for more news from TC.
