"Great to see Dougie's proposal for Fide rating the Richardson, and fully agree with George's rules.Why would anyone be opposed to it being Fide rated? Out of interest, this international director post - does it require lots of meetings or can it be done from home?"
FIDE rating rejected for various reasons:
1. 2300-2400s would put their ratings at risk vs 1800-2200s in domestic games
2. Only one or two games, not cost effective
3. Several 2300-2400s would not play, making tournament weaker
Strict grading order rejected for inflexibility, complexity reasons.
A fresh captains' vote is required for these two proposals in the name of democracy.
ID post only requires 2 meetings a year of council, rest can be done at home.
