An interesting set of proposals. As a radiosport enthusiast, I'd be concerned
about this one:
===Contest-free sections in all HF contests===
The Emcomm folks are being quite vocal about this issue, and are being rather
unreasonable.
Add to that, the MMSN folks are all bent out of shape....

> This one from DARC might be of interest to radiosport enthusiasts.
>
> Introduction
>
> It is proposed to discuss disqualification practices within IARU Region 1.
>
> Background
>
> The CQ WW Contest Committee wrote following to the DARC:
>
> Begin of quote:
>
> Each of the major international contests operates under its own set of
> guidelines and rules. The CQ WW Contest Committee respects and
> supports your hard work. Each major contest has its own set of rules.
> A violation of those rules can lead to disqualification of an entrant. The
> recent increase in technological advances has made certification of top
> scoring entrants very difficult to adjudicate. Those entrants who choose
> to violate the rules are becoming more sophisticated. In order to bring
> pressure on the small number of entrants who seek to violate the rules,
> the CQ WW Contest Committee brings before you the following proposal.
> Disqualification of an entrant in any of the participating contests will lead
> to check-log status in all the other contests for a period of one year. One
> year ineligibility will commence with the public announcement publication
> of the entrants call sign by the contests organizers. The call sign and the
> reason for disqualification will be shared with all participating contests.
>
> End of quote.
>
> DARC would like to know more about the disqualification practice of other
> contest organizers within the IARU Region 1 and therefore ask for any
> contributions concerning this topic.
>
> Recommendation
>
> That the HF Committee should analyze the current situation.
