The submission deadline for IAC members to propose changes to the IAC Official Contest Rules for the 2024 contest season was July 1st. These proposals have now been compiled. A total of 46 proposals from the membership were received. A PDF with all of the rule proposals is available for download below. Although organized some to assist with evaluation of similar inputs, these are generally listed in the order received.
Our thanks to all our members who submitted their ideas to improve IAC rules and our competitions. All members are now invited to review the proposals and provide feedback. You can address any or all, at your preference, but make sure to reference the Proposal Number on each so we know what you are commenting on. In general, we would appreciate input on:
a) Do you support the proposed change concept or not, and
b) Any suggestions and comments that you believe would be helpful toward decisions on whether to approve and/or modify them to be acceptable.
Members must submit their comments to this email address: RulesChair [at] iac.org
Feedback must be received within the 30-day comment period. Deadline September 30. The Rules Committee will review and present their recommendations on these proposals during the IAC Board of Directors Fall Board meeting. Thanks for your support!
Barrett Hines
IAC Rules Committee Chair
