6:35 PM Meeting was called to order.

1. Discussed the current procedure on Lake Champlain for someone who is unhappy with their rating and wants to appeal it. It was decided that the current format was OK.

2. Discussed the LC-PHRF Data Base and the security for our web site. Currently making any changes to the data base is password protected but anyone can go in and add new ficticious boats. This has been done and I have just deleted those boats. It was decided the ability to add new boats should also be password protected.

3. Discussed having two lists of boats in our data base: One for active boats and one for boats that have been sold but whose information we want to maintain in case a simlar boat reappears and wants to apply for a rating. We would then have a history to derive a new rating from.

4. Discussed Dale Hyerstay's "Request for Rating Review". That will be heard on Feb 11 at 6:30 at GE Healthcare.

5. Discussed Base Ratings for the two different types of J/109: PHRF and One Design and the awkward difference between the two as listed in their "Recommended PHRF Ratings for J/Boats" on their web site. It was decided to wait till spring when their list is updated.

6. The following change to the LC-PHRF Bylaws was discussed and approved:

In the ASYMMETRICAL LIMITATIONS WHEN FLOWN WITH SYMMETRICAL section of Appendix Number Two:

Change "tack must be set in the normal genoa position" to "tack must be set in the normal genoa / jib position"

7. To avoid last minute firedrills it was decided we should have any Bylaw changes presented for vote by April 10, 2009.

8. The next meeting was set for Wednesday Feb 11, 2009 at 6:30 at GE Healthcare

8:25 PM Meeting was adjourned
