Sorry not quite following you Jim
I wasn't saying eligibility had changed - rather that similar proposals to those in Motion 1 were put in the constitutional draft (Section 16, eligibility) voted on at the 2015 EGM. They were removed from the proposal before the last stage of the vote.
My statement on this matter isn't controversial, I'm sure most of us who were at this meeting remember it.
A statement on the SGM which took place at the Championship on 14/7/15 says:
"8 Please note that Section 16 is deleted and moved to OP."

The links to the documents for the 2015 EGM now point to the current proposals. I have a saved draft of the proposal.
[Edit 2/4/22: I didn't get the point of Jim Webster's reply and seem to have then got myself confused, going off on a different question.
Jim replies that eligibility had not changed and gives a link to previous eligibility conditions
Jim was replying to my saying it had changed, in Post #33.
However Hamish picks up, using this link, that eligibility HAS indeed changed. (Posts #66 and #76 on Page 8, with another from JW on Post #74)
It has changed from a two-year permanent residency immediately before the tournament in question, and not based on just being a student in Scotland, to a two year residency in the past, which can be as a student as well.
Hence LIFELONG ELIGIBILITY from a temporary residency period is being introduced, as well as eligibility from a student residency period.

Going back to my question, can you please update us on my AGM query?
I get that the constitution doesn't expressly forbid motions from being tabled on the website, but the language seems to assume the context of a General Meeting, and your reply referred twice to AGMs.
Also, of course, the constitution requires the AGM, which looks feasible to plan now. Moreover, it was anticipated in March by the management board.
So I don't think my question is unreasonable
Thanks
