3 Meetings Procedurals 1. Review of the 2015 December Bureau Meeting Agenda The Organiser of the 2016 FAI F3A Asian Oceanic Championships for Aerobatic Model Aircraft, Mrs Elsa Mai, asked to make her presentation on the 3 rd of December at 3 pm instead of the 4 th of December. It was accepted. 2. Approval of the Minutes of the Bureau and Plenary Meetings of April 2015 The Technical Secretary informed that one of the items of the Minutes of the Plenary Meeting has been misinterpreted. The Minutes were reissued as Version 2.0, however if this occurs in future, the Minutes should be re-issued adding an errata for recording the issue. The rest of the minutes were unanimously approved. 3. Matters Arising No matters arising. 4. Interim Decisions The benefit of introducing in the minutes of the Bureau Meetings items decided via s for the periods in between them was discussed. ACTION: Secretary and 1 st Vice President It would be useful also to enable the voting process via available online tools. Mr Visa-Matti Leinikki will provide some links and information about such tools. ACTION: FAI IT Manager April 2016 General Reports FAI General Conference and CASI Meetings Report by CIAM President, Antonis Papadopoulos. The meeting was held on a boat in Rotterdam. The most important discussions were: Attention to sportsmanlike behaviour. CASI proposed to move to CIAM the management of UAVs and Drones. CIAM accepted. It was announced that after a CIAM proposal to CASI, the validity period will be introduced to the new issue of the FAI Sporting Code General Section. The FAI SL database contains the validity period but there is no reference in the Sporting Code. It was also decided again by a CIAM proposal, that in the section of the GS which describes the right of representation, the word participant will be changed with the word competitor. FAI EB announced the concept of Multi Sports events. In 2016 in Poland there will be a test event previous to the World Games 2017 events by. International World Games Association. The complaint raised by the Russian NAC about the F2D selection for the 2015 WAG in Dubai has been discussed during the FAI GC. CIAM has followed the WAG rules and also the competitor in question declared that he had arranged holidays for the WAG period much earlier than NAC of Russia raised the issue. 6. WADA. Report by FAI Sport and Marketing Director or designated FAI official Mr Visa-Matti Leinikki presented the report. There were no particular issues and he gave a reminder to send the TUE forms to FAI Secretariat. In case of doubt, Mrs Segolene Rouillon has to be contacted. Page 3 of 24

4 WAG FAI World Air Games Dubai The WAG started and all the pending issues have been solved on the spot. One example is the big display managed by the Dubai Mall for the F3P event. At the last minute it was made ready and available for the competition. The F3P event attracted many spectators and the competitors were fully satisfied. The location in the Dubai Mall was an excellent choice. Mr Visa-Matti Leinikki pointed out the importance of the image that the FAI Air Sports can acquire at the WAG. The live scoring system of the F3P event was derived from the F3A live scoring system developed for the 2015 FAI F3A World Championship by a team led by Mr Bernard Shaden who was the F3P contest director at the WAG. He informed the Bureau that a lot of effort was required to adapt the system for the F3P event at the WAG. CIAM President mentioned also that the adaptation from F3A to F3P cost 5000 CHF. 40% will be covered by the WAG organisation and 60% will be shared between CIAM and FAI. The First Vice-President would like to know the details of the adaptation costs and the activity performed. Mr Michael Ramel pointed out that he would have liked to know the costs before commencing the activity. The Bureau concurred with Mr Woebbeking s opinion, that such a system is important for attracting sponsorships and enhancing the visibility of the event for the spectators. The CIAM President proposed that the expenses of the CIAM members not involved in the WAG, like Ian Kaynes, Kevin Dodd and Michael Ramel, be covered by CIAM on the basis of the amount given to all Bureau Members when the meetings are hosted at Lausanne. The CIAM Bureau unanimously approved. CIAM Treasurer will take care of this decision. Competition Reports FAI World Championships. Reports by Jury Chairmen FAI F1 Seniors World Championships for Free Flight Model Aircraft. Mongolia. Ian Kaynes Issues were found when checking the FAI licenses using the FAI license database. The system is too rigid with the names, and discrepancies were discovered with German and Ukrainian names. If the competitors were able to show the FAI ID number on paper, most of the problems would be solved, but not all the NACs have FAI paper licenses. The CIAM President suggested checking the database in advance of a Championship, getting the list of competitors from the organiser. Anyway, by using the FAI ID numbers most of the issues should be solved FAI F1E World Championships for Model Gliders. Serbia.

Competition Officials related matters 11. Jury performance at FAI World and Continental Championships Jury Pack use and recommendations for improvements No comments. The CIAM President suggested to check, before a championship, what is the maximum amount covered by the insurance provided by the championship organiser. To establish if it is acceptable, the minimum amount required by FAI has to be defined and this should be verified at the championship bid stage. The First Vice-President will identify the guidelines and the minimum required amount. ACTION: First Vice-President April Judges performance at FAI World and Continental Championships Judges analysis: F2B, F3A, F4, S F2B: No analysis was performed this year. Last year the analysis at the World Championships in Poland showed a small bias of one judge. F3A: The analysis showed a small bias due to the high standard of the judges Recommendations No recommendations have been identified. 13.

Report by CIAM Technical Secretary, Kevin Dodd For the proposals for the 2016 Plenary, the 15th of November happened to be on Sunday and so the deadline was silently extended by two days. He reported that 144 proposals have been sent to FAI by the NACs and the Subcommittees. 10 proposals of the F1 classes have to be disregarded because they were clearly proposals for rule changes out of the two-year cycle, and 1 proposal was withdrawn. His report is attached to the Minutes. (Annex 1) 16. Report regarding the 10 years of CIAM Secretary activity, Massimo Semoli In 2006 the present CIAM Secretary started his activity with his first December Bureau Meeting in Muncie.

(Annex 2) 17. CIAM Trophies. Report by CIAM Secretary, Massimo Semoli A written report was submitted. When applicable, all the 2015 Championship Bulletins mentioned the trophies to be awarded. A lot of Trophy Transfer forms have been delivered by the FAI Juries. These were mainly for the World Championships. However, we have to improve the promotion of the trophies by announcing the awarded competitors. Moreover, the Trophy Transfer forms for the World Cups are not used. The CIAM Secretary will chase the relevant World Cup co-ordinators to use them for recording the status and transfer of the trophies. ACTION: CIAM Secretary 2016 April Bureau Meeting The CIAM Bureau authorised the award of a new trophy donated after the 2015 Plenary Meeting. CIAM will ask for its approval at the 2016 Plenary Meeting Lost or damaged trophies Three trophies were identified as lost and 5 were damaged. They are listed in the report.

Scholarship Selection (Item 13 of April Bureau meeting) The Scholarship payment issues have been discussed at point 18. Page 8 of 24

9 23. Unsportsmanlike Behaviour in competitions At the 2015 F3CN World Championship in Austria, an issue occurred with the Chinese Taipei flag. The Chinese team manager removed the flag that was in reality a banner. The issue was due to a misunderstanding and after clarification the issue was solved. Mr Ree informed that a team manager, against a decision of the, threatened to publish a video on Facebook to show some specific events occurring during a championship. During a competition held before the F3J European Championship in Bulgaria, a Croatian pilot intentionally hit the model of a German competitor. FAI sent a letter to the Croatian NAC for penalising the Croatian pilot. The Croatian NAC rejected the reasons of the FAI letter. CIAM needs to discuss this issue, stated the CIAM President. Mr. Bartovsky mentioned that the same competitor was involved in a similar incident a couple of years ago. Mr Ramel pointed out that some organisers were approached by manufacturers who wanted to influence the appointment of judges in return for sponsorship. Mr. Ramel suggested that this kind of action is definitely unsporting behaviour. The CIAM President mentioned that he would like to have the support of CIAM Bureau to further discuss the cases with FAI EB and specifically with FAI Secretary General. The CIAM bureau unanimously approved. Action: CIAM President April 2016 Bureau Meeting 24. Assessment of Bulletins 0 using following year new sporting rules It has been agreed to use the following year new sporting rule for defining and assessing the Bulletins 0, even if the new rules are not yet implemented in the new CIAM Sporting Rules documentation. The Subcommittee Chairmen will help and support the organisers of the championships for the preparation of the Bulletins F2C Noise Plan Development The F2 Subcommittee Chairman pointed out that the F2C class competitors are reluctant to reduce the noise of the F2C engines. The adoption of a reduced venturi inlet didn t produce the expected results and the noise reduction was small or null. It was agreed to continue to follow the already defined development plan. 26. F6 Promotional class future (existing ones + new) The First Vice-President proposed removing the F6 Sporting Code and allocating it to specific classes. The Helicopter Subcommittee Chairman suggested taking the useful parts of the F6 Sporting Code and including them in the relevant Sporting Code volumes. 27. Transportation of model boxes (item 19 of April Bureau meeting) There was a preliminary agreement with the DHL courier for the 2015 WAG at Dubai. It was cancelled because the WAG organisers were not able to achieve a cost agreement in time. The First Vice-President stated that each NAC should take care of this problem. Mr Dodd noted that some competitors brought the models on aircraft as hand luggage. The CIAM President has started discussions with IATA in order to include the model box in the category of Sporting Goods or Equipment. He will continue the discussion, contacting the DHL courier as well. Action: CIAM President April 2016 Bureau Meeting 28. Entry Fees Consideration proposal by Peter Halman The 2015 Plenary Meeting returned to the CIAM Bureau the proposal, about the championship entry fees, for further assessment. Mr Halman explained to the CIAM Bureau a revised preliminary proposal with the various possible scenarios; reduction of the number of judges, the influence of the number of the competitors, etc. Page 9 of 24

10 The First Vice-President suggested declaring the championship fees during the championship bid stages, but this could cause the dumping of costs, and not meeting the reality. Mr Halman will prepare a revised proposal for the next Plenary Meeting. Action: Mr Peter Halman Mid February 2016 Activities 29. ABR volume revision and restructuring (item of April Bureau meeting) The First Vice-President presented the structure of the new ABR volume 4 Sporting Rules. The record management rules will be included in a separate volume. The CIAM Bureau can make suggestions or modifications to it until the end of December The document will be finalised on the 20 th of January 2016 and published with the 2016 Plenary Meeting Agenda on the 22 nd of February The Subcommittee Chairmen have to check and define the official classes. Action: First Vice-President and Subcommittee Chairmen Mid February Overhaul the whole Part Two, Records (item 25 of Dec Bureau meeting) Mr Metkemeijer will take the task of restructuring the section Part Two, Records including it in a separate volume. The CIAM Bureau approved. Action: Mr Rob Metkemeijer Mid February Judges and Technical Experts Lists (item 23 of April Bureau meeting) The CIAM President pointed out about the advantage, in saving time, of implementing an online system for the judges and technical experts lists. He mentioned that he is in contact with FAI office in order to develop such a system in There might be a cost involved for the development of such a system and as soon as this is known, he will inform the Bureau for approval. A feature of this new system will be a log book for the judges. Action: CIAM President Evolution of EDIC Group for SM Mr Pelagic, who was not present at the meeting, sent its proposal to the CIAM Bureau. The CIAM Bureau approved it. 33. Drones Activities under CIAM and further actions The First Vice-President made a presentation (Annex 3) about what was discussed at the CASI meeting, the CIAM possible positions and the next activities for promoting sports with FPV racing development. The main CASI decision was that CIAM will take responsibility for UAVs (class U). Mr Halman pointed out that the term UAV can encompass various purposes; commercial, governmental, military, research and recreational. He added the condition VLOS has to be followed. CASI would like CIAM to manage records with military UAVs. The CIAM Bureau didn t concur with this intention. The CIAM Bureau agreed that CIAM be responsible only for the recreational use of the UAVs, including the relevant sporting activity. It was realised that, according to the EASA definition, the Drone is an aeromodel. Moreover, EASA didn t consider Free Flight. A proposal will be defined to be presented at the 2016 Plenary Meeting. Action: CIAM Bureau Mid February 2016 CIAM 1 st VP Mr. Bruno Delor presented the progress made for organising the FAI International Event for Drones and the proposal to consider F3U (RC Multi-rotor FPV Racing) as a provisional class from 2016 and also to approve the organisation of the F3U World Cup if more than 5 Open Page 10 of 24
