ECF Council Voting Register 2018-2019
Posted: Mon Sep 17, 2018 3:55 pm
As the ECF Voting Registration Officer I have today arranged for the new style year long voting register for ECF Council to be on the ECF website (under Council Papers).
Garry Willson of the ECF Office always describes the production of this document as "a dark art" and indeed it is not always easy to determine from the grading data which organisation should be credited with which games. Consequently, as well as the register I have also uploaded a document giving a summary of which events have been allocated to which organisation.
I'd like to invite any league, congress or county offcial (or anyone else with an interest) to take a quick look at this document to assure themselves that they've not been diddled out of their fair number of votes (and, of course, to own up manfully and womanfully to any over-allocation). Queries and complaints should be sent to me at the ECF address given in the document [not by private message here, please - it's valuable to have a single reference place (even though I have used PMs during my own investigations)].
The documents also point out that unrepresented organisations (clubs, small leagues and congresses and many junior organisations) can use their influence a little by allocating (for voting purposes) their graded game submissions to organisations that are represented. Details on how to do this are set out in the explanatory notes to the main document. It is intended to be as informal and uncomplicated as possible and basically boils down to sending an email to [email protected]. Has your club made an allocation?
