New Diamond?

[Nyal Williams]

I've heard talk of a new diamond's being proposed by
IGC or some such body. Mention was made of a 4th diamond
for a 750km flight to stand between the 500km and the
1000km diploma.

If true, this would pave the way for a fifth diamond
for a goal flight of 750km.

Who knows details about this?

It will show up in the October 1, 2005 revision of the Sporting Code.
It will be a Diploma, not a Diamond. It will differ from the 1000+ km
Diplomas in that it is a national-level award, no international number
will be assigned...

Is there information about this on-line somewhere?
