Started

Background

Update of the FIBA link.

Rule change proposal

The link:
http://www.fiba.basketball/documents
should be updated in:
https://www.fiba.basketball/documents

Justification

Better to use https than http.

Comment

I think we should link to a specific version of the rules instead. In particular if we don't update the rulebook for another 5 years we should know whether we want the latest rules or the rules at the time we complete this

Comment

Personnaly, I would prefer to use the currently valid FIBA rules (as specified in the IUF Rulebook) rather the ones dating from the last Rulebook change (they are not frequent enough in my opinion). This is what we do in France. Unfortunately, it seems that there is no URL which is more precise than the one proposed.

Comment

ok, this change is good to me

Comment

I think this topic is also ready for a proposal.

Comment

In my original message, I let two weeks to people to make their first comment on a discussion before I transform it to a proposal. I will thus turn into proposals only on Monday the discussions you pointed out.

Comment

Okay, I understand - I think for topics where there is obviously no great need for discussion, the proposals could be created more quickly. There is also the review time for each proposal afterwards, and I think people on the committee are sometimes more likely to comment on specific proposals if they basically agree with the topic raised in the discussion.
