2005 · Confirmed

The IJSBA's post of 29 April 2005 thanks the members who had served on its transition committee until then, ten names with their countries, among them Linda Mellor from New Zealand. The association's post dated 23 January 2004 says a Transition Committee of representatives from 10 nations, New Zealand among them, had been approved on 20 January 2004 and empowered to assume the responsibilities of the Board; it names no member, so when she joined the committee is not printed.

2002 and 2004 · Confirmed

The association's 2002 rule book and its affiliates directory page captured on 11 April 2004 list Linda Mellor as the contact (Attn) for the New Zealand Jet Sports Boating Association (NZJSBA). Neither prints a post beside her name. The archive reads the contact and the director as one person on the full name and New Zealand's affiliate seat, which both print.

What the archive has not read (1)

• No held document names a post of hers in the New Zealand association itself, or a post of hers with the IJSBA after the page captured in February 2006 (searched the archive's mirror and research cache for Mellor, 2026-10-09). Later rule books, the 2005 and 2006 editions in the Hungarian affiliate's translation and the 2006, 2008 and 2009 draft editions seen in copies saved during research, still print her as the NZJSBA contact and are not cited.

The association's own release on its re-organisation. It says the association had been run by a board of manufacturer members only, that an IJSBA Transition Committee was approved on 20 January 2004 and assumed the board's responsibilities, that the committee's members were representatives of 10 nations (it lists the nations, not the people), and which member groups would make up the future board. It also says the association was evaluating applications to take on the responsibility of United States affiliate, including a proposal from Patrick Mell on behalf of the American Power Boat Association. High for what the association says about its own structure. It names no committee member; the members are named in the post of 29 April 2005 (ijsba-new-board-2005). The held excerpt leaves out the paragraphs on memberships, the World Finals, the rule book and the website.
