Needless to say we are voting against the proposals as control should be with council and not the board Back to top Andy McCulloch King Joined: 28 Mar 2007 Posts: 280 Posted: Mon Mar 28, 2011 2:43 pm    Post subject: I take it then that we are voting by proxy. Are we sure that the ECU will be more democratic than FIDE?

The ones on delegation to the board were soundly thrashed Several were withdrawn and 3 have been sent to committee for revision to be presented at Crete Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         Chess Scotland Noticeboard Forum Index -> General Chess Chat All times are GMT Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Public Area----------------General Chess ChatJunior Chess ChatAnnouncementsMembership NewsInternational TournamentsTournament ChatThe Games ZoneAsk the GraderThe Arbiters JotterSwap ShopWhy don't you??? Members Only----------------Archive  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © phpBB Group.
