ok Guys lets take a step back and have an overall look
1. Venues
Most and all public venues have legal responsibility for both health/safety and disability access. The issue at point is the need for the organiser as well as the venue owner to take responsibility for suitability
2. From my standpoint when a FIDE guideline is ratified it becomes a hard and fast rule not a guideline. This is the original lost in translation. Our complicated language allows inference and innuendo at the drop of a hat. I get the impression that the issue here is whether CS events will be subject to either guidelines (i.e. recommendations) or rules which must be followed. The CS AGM will probably decide that
Many posters (and probably include myself) have posted extreme scenarios to emphasise their view. My point is that this is a necessary evil in order for us all to come to a reasonable and informed decision when it comes to vote. What has become clear is that we can pool on all our experiences to recount what happened before and to help prevent problems arising in the future
