Continuation of AGM - motion 1.2

[StevieHilton]

Steve,

We shall have to agree to disagree. The motion referred to

remote Scottish communities

However much you may not like it - to use your own phrase - that refers to location. Try as I might, and I have, I fail to see any connection to disability in there.
Of course there is a connection to disability,particularly from a transportational point of view that is remoteness as well.

I would also remind you that with the new FIDE guidelines, that disabled players cannot be barred from tournaments.

Steve, it's by bringing comments like this into the discussion that you do lump the two together. This is irrelevant to this thread. No-one's suggesting that they should be barred!

No it is not Ian, it is an important part of this issue. The aim is to get more players actively involved in CS events and other congresses and that includes disabled players. The guidelines are relevant, because whilst organisers don't have the intention of barring someone from an event, then that may well be the actual happening. The guidelines are there to help organisers

I will tell you now Ian, that I have no intention of letting this issue go.

I would ignore the tone of your first clause (I can almost feel you poking your finger in my chest), but will say that since I can do without people 'telling me', I really shall say no more until feedback time. Ciao.

What was wrong with my tone? Why don't you make a contribution to the working party with a submission?
