The second item (1.1.1) of the constitution states:- Chess Scotland is the successor in interest of the Scottish Chess Association (founded 1884) and the Scottish Junior Chess Association (founded 1967).
I think it is important to remember that CS is the successor to two organisations - the SCA and the SJCA - one containing predominantly adults, and one containing juniors. As I understand it, at the time of the merger it was agreed all members (or their guardians by proxy) would have a vote and they've had that up until now.
Could someone who supports the proposed constitution help me understand the rationale behind removing the right to vote for juniors?
Many thanks,
Martin
