New constitution

[robin moore]

Some basic facts, and I believe potentially real examples.

Basic Membership
Adult 21.50
U17 10.00
U14 10.00
Family 1 38.50 1 parent plus any number of children U17
Family 2 51.00 2 parent Plus any number of children U17
Family Junior 19.00 Any number of children U17

Scenario 1
U14 – chess playing (or non chess playing) parent - Automatic Proxy vote, once registered for meeting
– FULL voting rights for parent on all issues.

Scenario 2
Family 1– one parent plus 3 (eg U10) children 1 vote by right plus 3 Proxy (child) votes
– 4 FULL Voting rights on all issues.

Scenario 3
Family Jnr – chess playing (or non chess playing) parent plus 3 children – 3 Automatic Proxy votes
– 3 FULL Voting rights for parent on all issues.

These are all real scenarios that display the voting power of parents and the current Junior voting system.

There is no requirement for parents in scenarios 1 and 3 to be able to play chess or even be members of Chess Scotland to have these votes.
