h5. CIMA working groups
{info:title=Message to CIMA Delegates}
All CIMA Delegates are encouraged to login, add to, and edit this wiki. It is not hard to use and there’s quite an extensive help section to get you started. Delegates will also find a lot more information than is available to unregistered users. The message is simple: *Don't be scared to break it, you can't. Use it, magic follows.*

Working groups are similar to sub-committees
except they are established on a temporary
basis to address a particular issue and then
disband when their work is complete.
* Paramotor Precision working group
* Internal Regulations working group
* [Ranking System working group|ranking:CIMA Ranking System working group]
* [Internet Presence working group|wiki:CIMA Internet Presence Committee]{column}

Wikipedia is an example of how the right tool has promoted the creation of a colossal piece of knowledge, it's almost like magic.
