Why bother having national championships at all? Yes I think the champion should be registered as SCO. This is not about Jacob - as he himself says he is retiring from tournament chess. He shouldn't really take it personally either - the motion is being proposed after the event. No one is going to take away previous non-SCO's titles.
However, I suggest that Jacob be given an honorary exemption from this rule for services to Scottish chess and therefore be eligible for the title if he decides to come back.
