Andy Howie Wrote:George, it is a perfectly fair question. It has been suggested that Andy M is doing this for personal benefit. Hard work and a lot of hassle are not personal benefit. Unless you have been a Captain, a Head of Delegation or ever acted as the FIDE / ECU delegate, you don't really grasp the work involved.
The one thing that is clear is we need to look at how the Captains and Heads of Delegation are selected. In the past it has been the ID and the IJD. Going by the depth of feeling on this thread this looks like something we may have to look at at the AGM.
I know that Andy M has put forward some ideas for that.
That's fair. I don't doubt it's lot of work actually - a labour of love hopefully. I take back "ridiculous" but stand by that it is a privilege and something where many would relish the opportunity despite the hard work. However it's done CS membership do have right to expect transparency.
