Full rights means eligible to win Championship titles and to represent Scotland internationally.
The history of the issue is described in the background notes to the 2nd motion. https://www.chessscotland.com/wp-content...y_2022.pdf
The 2019 Championship resulted in a share of the title by players with different points totals as a result of challenge to the result based on disagreement on rule interpretation. This is not a situation we would want to repeat.
If members vote Yes they agree with the proposal then Matthew Turner will then have the same rights as any other SCO badged player from the date of the outcome of this vote.
If members vote No they disagree then Matthew Turner would retain his Scotland registration but would only qualify for full SCO rights if he completed a two year period of residency.
