Just back from the Congress, and after talking with Syemyen, I can say that the
date for required implementation of the gloves in FIE competitions is projected
as March 1, 2014. Still only six brands homologated as of now, but more are
sure to come. Some are already being marketed with the FIE symbol.
Hope that this gives you some useful information. Now to see which way the
USFA jumps. I would guess that they would allow a reasonable time for US
vendors to get rid of at least some of their stocks, but I also suspect that
once the word gets out, people might very well quit buying the old-style gloves
and wait until they can get the new ones. Interesting situation.
One thing that we know for sure is that they will all be expensive.

I hope to return home from Paris in a few days with as much information as is
available regarding the gloves. I know that some manufacturers are already
marketing the gloves, but as to a date, well I will have to find out at the
Congress and let you know.

I have no problem with that as the result, but I would have hoped to read
that the ETC had informed the board they were in favor of the motion.

Given that the FIE is not going to take up consideration of this until the
Congress next weekend, I don't think we're in a position to make a
recommendation until we have the exact if-when-how of the FIE's adoption of the
rule. David Blake withdrew this motion at this week's meeting for that reason,
with the intent to re-introduce it after the FIE has made a decision.
