Appreciate the 'improved offer' Ian ....but will staging informal talks with a small group of people help (also, those declining old whingeing people will find it harder to hobble along there 
)?
Ian. you’ve clearly made up your mind to 'follow the FIDE trend', and the FIDE part of the decision on the McIsaac was already taken by ManComm. As the wider Fide-fication of CS tournaments is proving contentious shouldn’t it be subject to proper, wider consultation, or at least on the AGM agenda proper, before being bricked in to management thinking?
You clearly have interesting ideas for the development of chess, but isn't it better to share them with the membership before deciding. The downside is sometimes it's not what they want, what a bother but that's democracy innit..
Cheers
