I think it was proposed due to complications arising from the allocation or use of the SCO code.
If you do not know, is there someone who does? I would have assumed the minutes I linked to would be the definitive version.
The 2017 agenda states this regarding the 2016 motion outcome.
" 5. Matters by members.
Chess Scotland Champion must be SCO registered. Grey areas over who is Scottish and who isn’t.
Discussion on wording of proposal. IE discussion on whether this is to do with number of Country
code. Minor amendment – DB suggests change to federation designation instead of Country Code.
AM agrees to amendment. amendment passed.
Vote on proposal. 16 for. 14 against. Motion passed."

The stated purpose of this motion (brought by A Muir and G Neave) was to exclude players that had an existing registration with another country from being eligible to represent Scotland or win Scottish titles. It didn't confer eligibility on anyone.
