RFC - The Nordic Skiing Project
THE NORDIC SKIING PROJECT
The plan is to deliver a progressive system of Nordic skiing for release on DVD in October 1995. The product will provide a drill-based approach to all aspects of Nordic skiing: dry-land training, with on-snow classic, skating and telemark disciplines for both recreational skiers and racers. The DVD is envisioned to provide a highly interactive toolkit; using menus, multiple angles, alternate audio tracks, subtitles, and languages. The DVD-ROM features would also include: technical manuals, in-depth multimedia explanations, critical analysis primer, biomechanical modeling, narrative script, hyperlinks to on-line resources, MP3 audio books, photo gallery etc. The project will be undertaken with the utmost of care and professional quality production; using expert resources, talent and broadcast facilities. PROJECT WEB PORTAL The web site for the Nordic Skiing Project has been established in the interests of demonstrating transparency in the process and fostering effective communications for the project. The site can be found at www.xcskiing.tv SCHEDULE HIGHLIGHTS Principle photography starts in September 2004 and is envisioned to continue through to 01 May 05. Post production will occur throughout the summer of 2005 for a fall 05 release. Planning and development has begun. All registered coaches and instructors in North America were contacted through their associations or by direct communications soliciting their input. The draft of technical content was released to all stakeholders in 14 June 2004 with a deadline for review by 15 September 2004. The proposed content was posted publicly 15 September 2004 with public Request for Comments (RFC). The draft shot-list will be published 23 Oct 04 and finalized 01 Nov 03. The final narrative script will be frozen 01 April 2005. Visit the web portal www.xcskiing.tv for a detailed Work Break Down Schedule. A TRANSPARENT AND INCLUSIVE CONSULTATION PROCESS The mission of the Nordic Skiing Project is to arbitrate an unified approach to Nordic Skiing Technique by bringing together recognized experts in the field, generating discussion, consolidating ideas and arriving at an clear approach to instruction that all stakeholders can agree on. The Nordic Skiing Project recognizes and welcomes the involvement of stakeholders in the North American Nordic Skiing community including the Canadian Association of Nordic Skiing Instructors, Cross Country Canada, Biathlon Canada, the US Ski Association, the Professional Ski Instructor Alliance, key athletes, coaches and instructors. We propose to consolidate current understanding of Nordic Ski technique and teaching methods by engaging key principals in discussions and in the production process to the greatest extent that is practical. Many Nordic Skiing Organizations have expressed a commitment to thoroughly review the technical content of the project within the defined review periods The means of consultation is a thoughtful, inclusive and transparent process involving all stakeholders. WIDER CONSULTATION The technical content of the project has been informally shared with US and Canadian National Team members as well as a number of European World Cup Skiers who have provided endorsements and suggestions. A general RFC has been published on public world wide web, Internet News Groups and Customer Mailing Lists to provide ample opportunity to all coaches and skiing instructors to review and comment on either the concept, structure, or technical content. All feedback will receive serious attention and careful scrutiny. The main narrative audio track will represent the most widely accepted expert view of Nordic Skiing. Proposed modifications to the technical content of the Nordic Skiing Project will under-go review by a panel of experts and require an adequate practical demonstration on skis or roller-skis before being considered for the primary track. Notwithstanding, there is room for the expression of alternative views within the DVD project, by means of multiple audio and subtitle tracks. Here, we place no restrictions on the views expressed by individual coaches, instructors or skiers. Nil returns to this RFC by those persons directly solicited in the process, will be construed as tacit approval for the material as presented; given the wide distribution this material over an extended period of time, the open and genuine invitation to skiers to participate, and the means to accommodate disparate views. |

It's on their web site too. I guess proofreading is a post-production item.
