CC MEETING -- Photo Op

The CC held its now-traditional post-Act, de-brief meeting yesterday in Malmoe. Ten of the eleven challengers were represented (apologies from +39, who had given their views to the Chairman on key pending issues), though a few Reps had to dash for their flights home toward the end of the productive three-hour session. Due to travel schedules yesterday and today, we will not be able to post our usual meeting media statement until tomorrow.

In the meeting photo below, clockwise around the table from the left: Tanis Rey-Belter (Desafio Espanol), Bjorn Ohde (Victory Challenge), Alessandra Pandarese (Mascalzone Latino Capitalia Team), Tom Ehman (BMW ORACLE Racing), Xavier deLesquen (China Team), Uwe Sasse (United Internet Team Germany), Bruno Finzi (leaning forward) and Marco Mercuriali (Luna Rossa), Wolf Dietz (UITG, and barely visible between Marco and Salvatore), Salvatore Sarno and John Sweeney (Shosholoza). Not pictured: Tom Weaver (Mascalzone), Kevin Shoebridge (Emirates Team New Zealand), John Cutler (Desafio Espanol), Dawn Riley (K-Challenge) and Chairman George Clyde (K-Challenge).

A welcome infusion of new CC blood -- Desafio's Tanis Rey-Belter (ESP)...
