Votes at Council have relevance for how CS makes decisions. "COUNCIL decisions shall be binding unless reversed by a resolution of an AGM or SGM." <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://chessscotland.com/csinfo/csconstit.htm">http://chessscotland.com/csinfo/csconstit.htm</a><!-- m -->
The vote was unsatisfactory in that so few people took part. However the selection was about to happen with the selectors duty bound to use the existing selection rules (which excluded grandparent as a determinant of being eligible). It can be revisited at a future meeting - it was suggested such an issue might be determined by an email vote to extend numbers taking part.
