What is confrontational about the questions I raised?
The only thing I have a concern about is the lack of consultation on the disability issues arising from the motion.
You will notice that I think that the motion is a good one, but lack of consultation is worrying to me.
I never said or implied that the motion infringes any part of the FIDE Guidelines. My point was that were these used in researching this motion. My work with the disabled would sure have been useful in preparation of this motion that's all. There is nothing aggressive about that.
I have had a lot of experience in playing matches by Skype, I would be happy to pass on that experience to this working party if it has been set up.
I would suggest the following,
Allow me to play in the Ayr tournament by using skype from my home. Then you would have valuable experience and information in regards to aims of this motion, which I repeat is a good one but there should have been more consultation that's all
Steve,
It is a proposal to put together a working party to look into this idea. Surely it is the remit of the working party to decide on the consultation?
