I would like to submit Motion 3 as compromise solution . Would anyone care to second it ?
Motion 3:
Proposal to recognize the services of GM Matthew Turner to Chess Scotland
" Matthew Turner shall be entitled to represent Scotland in a single international tournament of his choosing up to 31 December 2027. After this representation has taken place Matthew Turner shall not be entitled to represent Scotland again unless he meets the residency requirements".
I support Motion 1 as it clarifies the three methods of eligibility.
I do not support Motion 2 as it would mean Matthew taking the place of a Scottish-born person in the team for an extended period, possibly ten years.
