Revise 3C.1.1 Race Director

Started
In the discussion about the revision of rule 3C.1.3 Starter, it was discussed to what extent the starter should explain the rules - the conclusion in the end was that this should not be the task of the starter, but of someone else, e.g. at the line-up or even before. I also mentioned in the other dicussion, that I would actually see the Race Director as being responsible for ensuring that a “race briefing” happens. I would therefore suggest making this the responsibility of the Race Director. However, I would formulate the rule so open that the Race Director does not necessarily have to do the briefing himself, but really only has to ensure that this briefing takes place.
My proposal for revising 3C.1.1 Race Director would be the following:
3C.1.1 Race Director
1. The Race Director is the head organizer and administrator of road race events. The Race Director is the highest authority on everything to do with the road race events, except for decisions on rules and results. With the Convention Host, the Race Director determines the course, obtains permits, interfaces with the community, and determines the system used to run the event.
2. The Race Director is responsible for the logistics, equipment for all road racing events.
3. With the Referee, the Race Director is in charge of keeping events running on schedule, and answers all questions not pertaining to rules and judging.
4. The Race Director is responsible for ensuring that a race briefing is held with the riders before each race, in which course-specific aspects, in particular safety aspects, are explained.
Paragraph 4 has been added and deals with the race briefing. The remaining paragraphs have been taken from the current rule and have been slightly reordered.
