69
Allegations of Gross Misconduct (b) A protest committee of at least three
members shall conduct the hearing, following rules 63.2,
63.3, 63.4 and 63.6. If it decides that the competitor committed the
alleged misconduct it shall either (c) The protest committee shall promptly report a penalty, but not a warning, to the national authorities of the venue, of the competitor and of the boat owner. (d) If there is good reason for the competitor not to attend the hearing, the protest committee shall postpone it. However, if the competitor has left the event and as a result cannot reasonably be expected to attend a hearing, the protest committee shall not conduct one. Instead, it shall collect all available information and, if the allegation seems justified, make a report to the relevant national authorities. (2001) CYA prescribes that the protest committee shall report such penalties or make such reports only to the CYA who will be responsible for reporting to the national authorities of the competitor and of the boat owner. CYA will also report the penalty to the provincial sailing association and the yacht club of such competitor or boat. (e) When the protest committee has left the event and a report alleging misconduct is received, the race committee or organizing authority may appoint a new protest committee to proceed under this rule.
