– An appeals committee was surely set up before the championship. Have they been consulted on this ?
As with any event, the appeals committee is automatically disbanded at the conclusion of the event. It has no powers once the event is over. Any matters arising after the event need to be addressed to Chess Scotland Management.
AGM Motion
The Chess Scotland AGM, in accordance with the Constitution is held in November.
12.1. There shall be an Annual General Meeting of the members of Chess Scotland the date of which shall be fixed each year by COUNCIL, but which shall not be later than the last day in November.
Any motion submitted for the AGM must be assessed by the Management Board before it can be accepted for inclusion at the AGM.
14.2. All motions declared as proper by the MANAGEMENT BOARD shall be proposed and seconded by members entitled to vote at the meeting before they can be considered for inclusion on the meeting Agenda. For General, COUNCIL and MANAGEMENT BOARD meetings, the President, Executive Director and Finance Director will act as a Standing Orders Committee regarding suitability of motions for inclusion.
