2021 CIVL Plenary: an e-Success
The 2021 CIVL Plenary took place online from February 1 to 7 on Zoom platform, two hours a day. It was very efficient, thanks to the extensive preparatory work on CIVL Basecamp space: hundreds of exchanges.
Some 90+ people from 40+ nations participated in the Open meetings and official Sessions. We had the usual 40 points on the agenda: reports, proposals, bids, elections and inspiring (!) speeches.
In these unusual times, there were few proposals and fewer that passed, mainly adjustments to current rules.
Bids for the 2023 World Championships were all successful:
Paragliding XC in Andradas, Minas Gerais, Brazil
Paragliding Accuracy in Sopot, Bulgaria
