New constitution

[George Neave]

From the structure who do you think will create the board of selectors for adult international events?

Would it be
(a) The adult international director
(b) The holder of the new position ----- Executive Director of Chess. For whom the Adult International Director will be working
© The holder of the new position ---- Selection Board Director. Who confusingly will be working for teh holder of the new position Executive Operations Director
(d) The Executive Committee in our of their frequent meetings
...

Actually I don't see there is any need for a "Selection Board Director" in addition to an International Director (ID). I'd have thought the ID would appoint and chair selection committees as required and use casting vote only when necessary. I'd expect 3 committee members in addition to the ID. I'd expect the ID to propose the 3 committee members and seek board approval before they are confirmed to ensure the ID doesn't just pick his mates . The same committee should also select captains/coaches non-playing or otherwise.

On re-reading there do appear to be an awful lot of boards going on here. One board and a few sub-committees to look after the various functions identified should be adequate. Possibly Junior chess is the exception in this respect. How many adult members does CS have currently?

We would do well to remember CS is more like a club than an International Conglomerate.
