Now that there have been record claims and we have got experience with the procedures and rules for claiming GPS records it has become evident that there are procedural areas in the rules that can be improved and simplified consistent with our aim to make record rankings claims as accessible as possible while maintaining the technical standards.

After discussion and feedback from members we are drafting some changes to the rules to clarify them and to make it clear that it is unnecessary to announce record attempts before each and every attempt takes place. For attempts at specified commonly frequented and well established speed venues it will not be required.   A list of these venues will be published. For record attempts at new or remote places we propose to keep a requirement to notify the WGPSSRC before the attempt in enough time so that proper arrangements for ratification can be agreed and so that other interested parties may arrange to be present.
