You really want to see my face? Do you want to put people off.
Its a bandwidth thing, especially when I am recording for minute purposes, I don't want to lose connection because of video stream.
I fundamentally disagree with you on the FIDE thing. A non olympiad year would attract 40 people max to the GA, hardly democratic. By moving the non olympiad to online over 170 join.
Not a bad idea in my view. Maybe time us oldies (and yes I am a senior myself now) actually embraced this new fangled technology which allows people at distance and who are unable to participate and feel part of the meeting.
As for the comment about last two directors being appointed, you may want to read the constitution. It clearly sets out what happens. If you don't like it, put a proposal in for change but it is pointless complaining about something that has been in place for quite a few years, has been used many times in the past without complaint and not seeking to change it.
