I'm back in Scotland every year or so to visit my parents, usually in conjunction with an event (such as the Olympiad) on this side of the planet. I don't want to give FIDE more money to transfer back - in any case, there are too many interesting Asian-only events that I now qualify for - but I am interested in taking part in the Scottish Championships. My question is, are you about to rule me out of winning any Scottish title? OK probably a rhetorical question as I get weaker and weaker, but could no doubt be relevant to others in my situation.
Hi Helen. I understand the points of discussion beween you and Andy Burnett. Under my motion you would of course be eligible as you meet two of the numbered criteria and ONLY ONE is needed.
My motion is NOT concerned with restricting the eligibility criteria further (I'm not in any CS office). Rather it's an attempt to ensure members have a formal say in the main criteria for 'Scottishness as there have been moves (as in the proposed new constitution amongst others) which would allow management to vary these to suit and/or make somewhat surreptitious departures from the prevailing criteria.
Cheers
