Final day at Governing Council... we continued with the isolated items from the requests for action. There were no new isolations. A change was made to allow officials who are related to each other to serve on the same panel at non-qualifying competitions, except as Tech Controller/Specialist as this would be a majority of those deciding calls in IJS. The Adult Committee had proposed changes to the allowed tests for Masters Junior/Senior, Intermediate/Novice, and Gold levels. An amendment to that was made so that anyone who has previously qualified to Nationals in Intermediate/Novice or Junior/Senior will not be able to now go back a level. New business - allowing Referees to access the rulebook on electronic media on stand passed; Rulebook available as online version only referred because they would not be able to implement all phases of it this year; referred to the Board to review areas of financial savings that do not include eliminating GC. There was a cute video played during the meeting - a video blog put together by local Stockton skater, Maddie Baker, and her grandmother about experience as Sweeper during Nationals. We finished all business by 1:30 PM, so we took time for lunch and then Jean, Lynn and I headed back to Charleston to spend the night before our early flights.
All approved rule changes will be posted online by U.S. Figure Skating as soon as they are ready.
