Any that are seconded will be sent to Andy H for formality.I shall attend in person.
1. The Scottish Champion must be SCO FIDE affiliated.
2. Having a Scottish grandparent is insufficient eligibility to represent Scotland. This shall not appear in any eligibility rules.
3. Matt Turner will be considered for the Olympiad as a wildcard due to services to chess, subject to agreement of the reamining team members.
4. There shall be no selection oversight position. International Directors shall be solely responsible for selections.
5. Directors shall serve a one-year term. (As in football, bad managers should be sacked promptly)
6. The Scottish Championships shall not overlap the Glorney Cup dates (our top players rarely play in the Glorney and haven't won for 50 years)
7. Our top juniors, having received training, are expected to play in the Glorney Cup each year.
In addition to these Andy I suggest you put forward a motion that to cast a proxy vote one has to be a member at the time of the meeting.. For the rationale for this motion take a few minutes to compare the list of members on July 14th with the list of proxy votes on July 14th
Just spent some time going through the proxy votes at the SGM. There are 64 individual members and 8 clubs/leagues/junior organisations. I assume the latter were all entitled to a proxy vote. Of the 64 individual proxy voters 63 of them are listed as CS members on the July 14th membership list. One name isn't and I confess I don't recognise it so I assume it is a parent/guardian voting on their CS member child's behalf.
