Just had this in an email,

QUOTE
Denise tells me that there is a strong possibility that the FFF is going to limit access to the Loop to certified instructors only. This would
mean that anybody who is studying to become a CI would not have access to it. You might want to let SL members know so they can
download copies before it goes away.


You may want to make this known to CCI study groups.

Cheers, Paul

The issue is that section 2.5.d of the CICP bylaws states:

QUOTE
The CBOG will enhance the growth of fly casting instructors by:
5. A newsletter (The Loop) for certified casting instructors.


Which indicates that the Loop is intended for certified instructors only. That may or may not be what the people who wrote the bylaws intended but changing the bylaws requires a concensus of the CBOG.

I like the fact that (I)FFF has large areas of the website which are unrestricted, and that there is so much information available to all (unlike the UK instructor associations: I'm in the UK).
I can see that may have been an oversight, but it certainly helped me prepare for my CI test

PS wonder if this might be a consequence of a discussion about The Loop over at the ACICI forum

There's no doubt that there is a lot of good information on the (I)FFF site. I think the issue is more about the change from FFF to (I)FFF and understanding what it means.

I vote to leave it the way it is now: open loops to everyone who wants them!

Cool slogan  :cool:

Other than that, leave it open, no point in closing it unless someone update all the wrong information and use it as bait to bring in new members. As it is now, people have to think for themselves, close it and say it's information for certified instructors and someone might just use it straight of without thinking about it... Yes some people do believe everything they read on the net  :p

Cheers
Lasse

No problem IMO if it remains open. But, what is then the difference between paying the FFF and instructor fees and not paying them?
