If the Olympic Games and WEG go to a CIC format, doesn't that also mean that the 4*s must be CICs as well, since the Olympic rule is that the Olympics must be "the pinnacle of the sport"?

There needs to be a revision of the qualification system for OG. If you can afford it a Rider can go to Romania and ride 3 horses at the CCI3* out of 10 entries the winner still get the same maximum points as the winner of Blenheim (for eg) at CCI3*. That does not seem correct - the value of the Blenheim win should be greater - Yes or No? Likewise the lower places.

I have been running a crusade for this almost since the major change in format at Athens. It appears from most of the submissions that most of the NFs are not opposed, as long as the current ratio of phase importance is maintained.

Neither of the Eventing Committee proposals do that in full. Option A is much closer, but any score over 100 would end up being a negative score, which is not precisely encouraging, especially if, for some riders, merely finishing is a personal win.

As FEI eventing judge I do not support the suggestion to skip the final marks for the dressage tests. This will not necessarily extend the time consumption for the dressage test; the time for the rider to leave the area should suffice to give the final marks. In my eyes this set of marks enables the judge to clearly indicate basic deficits in the performance of horse and rider.

"Further to the general changes proposed above, the Eventing Committee are proposing also for implementation the following updates for the rules clarify and improve wordings, including requests from NFs received in October 2015:
- Additional CIO (art.501.2): It is suggested to line up with the General Regulations and allow the possibility inn exceptional circumstances to organize one Young Rider or Junior Official competition per country in addition to a Senior Official competition."
French NF is in favour of this proposal.

"Further to proposals of FEI external consultancy, the Eventing Committee are suggesting the following options for the review of the NFs to promote the understanding of the sport to new audiences:
- Equestrian Triathlon
- Equi-triathlon
- Equestrio
- Triquestrian"

The FFE does not think that a new name is necessary, if if we have to change, we will support the « Equestrian Triathlon » proposition.

"For the Eventing Dressage and Jumping tests, the Eventing Committee suggests to line up with the proposals coming from the relevant disciplines. For the Cross Country test all nations will have to use national flag colours for dress and saddle pads to clearly identify and differentiate the countries. Colours and pattern to be registered in advance to allow differences between nations."

French NF is in favour of this proposal.
Due to private sponsorship in individual competitions, these requirements may be applied only on Nations Cup and Championships

"Taking into account the suggestions of several NFs in regard to the removal of the coefficient for Dressage and implementation of a positive scoring, the Eventing Committee is suggesting two alternative proposals for a new scoring system, to help make the understanding of the sport more self-explanatory to a wider audience in line with the IOC Agenda 2020:
- Proposal A: Dressage percentage to represent directly (without coefficient) the positive score from where to eventually deduct current Cross Country and Jumping penalties. Athlete with the highest score wins.

"New additional short and long 4-star Dressage
- New 1 star test
- Shorter time for the Dressage Test (e.g. speed up entry and exit of horses in the arena, deletion of collective marks, taking out 1st salute etc.)"

French Equestrian Federation is in favour of these proposals.
