Some topics of interest from the International Directors report

My educated guess, Andy, is that since representing your country in an Olympiad is the pinnacle of a chess career for many, many players - paying your own flights is worth it.

I have yet to hear from anyone who wants to take on a non-playing captain's role. I am happy to do so (if time and personal finance allow!) but I'll keep looking for others who may be interested, and a discussion with the teams will also take place before any decision is made.
