Change of the FIP Guidelines for Open Philately
According to the FEPA request, trough the FIP Vice-President representing FEPA, Bernard Jimenez, the FIP has agreed in changing the points for the evaluation of the Open Philately Class, deleting the criteria “Importance” and joining in just one criteria of “Treatment”, the previous separation of “Philatelic Treatment” and “Non Philatelic Treatment.

Philatelic Importance 5
Non-philatelic Importance 5
Changes now to just Treatment 20 points
The new Evaluation score for Open Philately is:
