Hi Roy, Gene and suscribers,

You can find at "ISAF Judges Manual 2006" this guide about the case:

9.4 Right to Withdraw a Protest
Withdrawing a protest requires the approval of the Jury. A competitor
may
not automatically withdraw a protest simply by saying so. The jury
should
determine the reason why it is being withdrawn. If foul play is
suspected,
that permission should not be given.

My second question is:
The Protest Committee can initiate a protest based on information from
a valid protest. If they accept to withdraw the protest, can the PC
present a further protest? If

The ISAF Judges Manual 2006 and other interesting publications will be
found at www.sailing.org (under Oficcials/publications)

I didn´t find any other document or info about this.
But still searching.

Regards,
Diego Ravecca
