Change Requests
#38377 from Peter Olivola · Not recommended · Minutes (2025-06 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter. The Club Racing Board does not recommend this change. CRB letter responses published in Fastrack
identify the writer making the request and normally disclose the nature of the writer's request in the title of the letter. In many
instances, however, the specific information or data submitted by a writer is intended to be confidential and is not meant to be
shared with other competitors. Requiring publication of the contents of all letters and documents submitted through the Letter
Log System would have a chilling effect and would dissuade members from providing the most comprehensive information and
data available. In addition, the CRB and its advisory committees typically receive more than 100 letters per month, some of
which are many paragraphs long and often include attachments, and therefore it is impossible to publish the contents of each
letter submitted, even without the confidentiality issues described above. Also, awaiting other members' feedback in response

to a writer's request would neither reduce the volume of letters received nor lessen the advisory committees' review time and
would in fact increase the time required for the CRB to render decisions. Members are free to submit letters and data through
the Letter Log System if they believe the CRB did not receive accurate or complete information from a writer or otherwise
reached an incorrect result. Finally, in addressing the concerns expressed in letters submitted through the Letter Log System, the
CRB does its best to publish responses that make clear what was requested and to the greatest extent possible provide the
rationale for its decisions.
