Milano CC Meetings In Progress

Three days of Challenger Commission meetings got underway this morning in Milano, Italy. Sub-committees on Racing Rules and on Television are meeting today. The full CC meets all day tomorrow. On Wednesday, the CC meets as a forum with representatives of the Defender to trade ideas all around on the structure, format and timing of the next (33rd) America's Cup.
