Ian you say
“There is general acceptance that we move move more and more towards FIDE tournaments. The Spens and Richardson are already there.”
Really Ian? That’s a very surprising comment, as there has been NO acceptance here when the FIDE question was raised on its own – in fact, three people have immediately voiced opposition, one referring to other private discussions. And a fourth points out that he wouldn’t be able to play without further investigation – so there is in fact a loss for him. No-one has voiced ‘acceptance’.
I don’t know how you can give ‘apathy’ as a reason when you haven’t consulted on the question (surely apathy is question-specific), and have pointedly ignored the immediate (and very un-apathetic) feedback you have just received.
If you’re hellbent on going down the FIDE route whether CS members like it or not, it would be nice if you would let us all know, rather than assure us of our ''general acceptance' for which there so far seems no evidence :|
Cheers
