Firstly I should declare self-interest in the following question.
How would proposal 1 deal with someone who conforms to the following, or to similar criteria? If my understanding of the draft is correct, such a person would not be eligible to represent Scotland in future team events because of points [1] and [2] below.
[1] Was not born in Scotland, and no parent or grandparent was born in Scotland.
[2] Not currently resident in Scotland.
[3] Has been registered with FIDE as SCO ever since the FIDE registration process began.
[4] Is registered with FIDE as a FIDE title holder attached to SCO.
[5] Was permanently resident in Scotland for 4.5 years (plus another 4 years temporarily resident in Scotland as a student).
[6] Has represented Scotland in 13 FIDE international team tournaments (6 Olympiads, 6 Student Olympiads, 1 World Senior Team Championship).
[7] Has been a life member of Chess Scotland since 1981.
[8] Has won the Scottish Championship or the Scottish Ladies Championship.
[
[9] Has never been registered with FIDE as being from a country other than Scotland.
I would respectfully suggest, reminding the reader of my above declared self-interest, that someone who has represented Scotland in past international team events (perhaps imposing a minimum number of 2 or more such events), should not lack eligibility if and when any new eligibility requirements come into force.
Also, it might be appropriate in the eligibility requirements to distinguish between those players who have not previously been registered with FIDE for a national federation other than Scotland, and those who have been so registered.
Regards to all,
David Levy
