The FAI Executive Board and the Presidents of Air Sports Commissions had a Zoom meeting on May 7, 2020. 

The agenda stated: 

‘Covid-19 has created significant problems worldwide. Sports and meetings have been seriously impacted. The variations in governmental approaches to the health threat have made the situation more difficult to manage at an international level.
The intention of this agenda item is to understand what Air Sports Commissions have achieved, how this has been done and any particular problems or issues that have arisen. 
This discussion will then provide guidance for the discussion about how to handle championships (in 2020, 2021 and further) under a continuing and unspecified Covid-19 threat.’

The following came out of the discussion:

It is to each Commission, for each discipline, to evaluate the specific situations.
Commissions are trusted to take the appropriate decisions.
The role of the FAI Executive Board and Secretariat is to share, assist and support the commissions as needed.

CIVL current situation

CIVL policy decided early on (March 15) in agreement with the FAI President and Secretary-General is confirmed.
•    Cat 1 or Cat 2: we let the organisers decide and we support them as much as we can.
•    Cat 1: Engaged expenses for CIVL Officials that should have been supported by the organisers are paid by CIVL. Spots are reserved for 2021 or 2022 for postponed events
•    Cat 2: Administrative fees for cancellation are not charged. Events are scored in the WPRS even if they don’t follow strictly the FAI calendar 30-day rule.
•    There is an ongoing discussion on scoring competitions in the WPRS but freezing the devaluation factor. The decision is pending.
