With my players cap on rather than any CS involvement I have, I was under the impression that such changes were not 'AGM motion' questions necessarily, but rather at the discretion of the director responsible for the particular events?
I understand Jim's point, but one of the problems with AGM votes is that people who have no involvement in such matters vote on things which will never affect them - which to me makes it not dissimilar to the 'non-CS members in a poll scenario'.
Of course, for strong players in FIDE-rated events, not publishing team lists beforehand or match line-ups at least an hour prior to a match is the wrong approach.
I look forward to Ian's thoughts on this when he has a chance to share them, but unless the difficulties in administering a team list approach are too many, I'd say it's a no-brainer.
Kind regards,
Andy Burnett
