Hello friends,
Haven’t heard anything about the progress of GCAP recently, the latest I saw was that it was going back for consultation, but that was in 2021.
What’s the latest?
A
The GCAP process has continued behind the scenes, and Regions/Divisions/Subdivisions submitted their feedback on the final draft earlier this month. Since the BoG told us this is the final draft, I suspect the next we hear about GCAP is when it is released.
So they have decided that public discourse gets them too much pushback?

It has now been released and commenced on 01 March 2024.
As a C1 does this now mean that I cannot control anything other than unrestricted until I get a Tier assignment? According to the table promulgated, I’ve just been restricted without being advised.

If you held an endorsement for any Major positions at your Home (sub)division (FIR/ARTCC/VACC) they should have automatically been turned into the matching Tier 1 or Tier 2 endorsement under GCAP. I would recommend you contact your local staff about the exact details, but I expect nothing changes for you in that regard. GCAP is all about removing unnecessary restrictions, not adding them.

Tier 1 and Tier 2.
That will depend on your division, however, as Jannes said, they should be automatically changed to Tier 1 or Tier 2 endorsements. For example, in VATPAC we previously had a procedural tower endorsement, this was automatically changed to Tier 2 and everyone retained it, and we added a Tier 1 Endorsement for Sydney TCU, which everyone currently with an S3+ received automatically.
