I don't expect to be at Uvalde but I'm opposed to mandatory FLARM.
The issue is not that use of FLARM is not a good idea rather how you
enforce the rule and what you do if a pilot has a FLARM failure.

If you mandate FLARM at Uvalde WGC what will you do about visiting
pilots that bring their own FLARM equipped gliders. With no FCC
certification they will not be legal for use in USA. IGC cannot, or
at least should not, mandate an illegal operation.
