I'm still looking for answers on the following:
In an ideal world you could conceivably do this but I think it would be tough to get a consensus. Hence the reason this code wasn't discussed with Leagues and Associations prior to the 2009 AGM as is evidenced from the minutes from that AGM. To bring about a code such as you speak you would need to have a consultation, debate and a proposal. This didn't happen with this as far as I can see.

When was our last audit by the Scottish Government and what were the findings as I cannot find anyting relating to such an audit?
Also can you provide the correspondance from the Scottish Government highlighting as you alluded to that they wouldn't be happy with leagues where they have their own codes administering their own standards.
David Congalton Wrote:Or twenty-two bodies or however many county associations there are? So we could all utilise the CS standards committee, assuming we all agree on the standards. Those involved in local standards committee could then turn their attention and time to other parts of chess in their County which could benefit.
