Suggestions for the RS:X Class executive committee The perfect package would combine TV, PR, Photographers and live tracking services. It must be our goal for future events aside world class venues selection, hospitalities and prize money for our athletes. For this to happen, we need to generate cash with sponsors and select the right tools such TV, photographer, PR and tracking services. We also have to ensure that our media services will feature all RS:X events and can t let organizers to select their own services. Worlds (including youth) and European championships shall be covered by APP Sunset vine option B with track track and continental championships by Icarus option B till the Games. Media services providers will charge the Class and the Class will charge event organizers for such services adding 10% margin allowing the Class to support events with financial difficulties in the future. Once the partner will be selected a further final negotiation shall be conducted prior the agreement to be signed for the 2014 till the Games period. A discussion needs to be conducted with IWA to propose a media cost share for continentals events with multiple classes (ie Bic Techno, RS:X, RS:One). In that case with Icarus only.
