Adam,
There is nothing to stop Edinburgh CC holding these events, but unless alternative supervised accommodation is found for those who need it then it cannot be FIDE rated.

I must say that I do hope that the suggestions that the guidelines remain guidelines and that it never becomes the situation whereby an event can not run or can not be FIDE rated because, dispite the best efforts of the organizers, a particular player(s) can not be accommodated. I do stress the 'best efforts' bit because that is important.

Mike,
Might I suggest you actually read the motion. It has never said that a tournament cannot be run. What FIDE has said that it would not be rated. If Edinburgh wish to hold FIDe rated events, they have to comply with the guidelines
