I would love to stand, but I have taken on the magazine editors role as that's where my main area of expertise lies.
If I thought that doing both jobs was in any way practical (given my personal, playing and coaching commitments) I would have stood anyway, but CS deserves someone who has the time and expertise to do the job properly.
CS is primarily a volunteer organisation, and quite often we will have to 'make do' with whoever is willing to take on roles, but unfortunately the ID role as it stands is becoming a laughing stock in chess circles.
Apologies if this seems harsh, and you obviously have your supporters who disagree with this view, but can you honestly say your behaviour over the last 2 years has been in any way acceptable for the important role you have?
