From the document:
"... the IGC is asked to consider the option of replacing the World
Class or the future 13,5 m class with the 20 m two seater class,
provided a suitable solution for the WC/13,5 m class can be found.

Comparing the number of Duo Discus and DG-1000s to the number of
PW-5s, there can only be one solution... get rid of the World class.
The sooner, the better.

Doing the math for you via the FAA database:

Number of registered Pw-5s - 71
Combined number of DuoD and DGs1000 - 47

Not to mention that most Duo and DGs in US are used by money hungry
FBOs and are in-accessible for club folks.

Maybe you should leave at least ONE class that doesn't require
spending 150K with Herr F. or Herr X., or don't cry later about
spending 250 Euro per year to have your bird airworthy...
