It would look like a sensible way forward would be for the Selection Board to be elected by Council, and that the ID chairs this, but has no vote. Further no captain should be elected from outwith Chess Scotland without the prior approval of council, as a minimum.
Ok, the captain should be acceptable to the teams, but I don't know of any other sport where the team actually chooses it's own captain.
If you want to change things now, the matter is in the hands of the members. As I posted earlier, the vehicle to do so is by a SGM. However I doubt that there is now sufficient time for this to be arranged now. A SGM needs time to be advertised, venue, and supporting members who prepared to prepare the motion and meet all the criteria as laid down in the constitution.
