The fear was that we'd me made observer, then some random excuse would be made for us to suddenly lose that status, so to hear it has been extended and that GAISF is happy with our progress is great.
Also great to see that over the past two years proper governance reform has occurred within the IRL, membership has increased by a third and that all current members are now recognised by their government in some form officially.
Less than 10 years ago we'd have been lucky to have much more than 10 members officially recognised by their respective Governments, so this is massive and arguably will make it easier for future nations to get the same recognition.
