The timing of the server transfer was delayed till August for reasons that seemed sensible at the time. There has to be some discussions, but this plan is still on track.
Brian Valentine
Manager ECF Grading
Like most of us, Brian is a voluntary officer who is doing his best. It's only to be expected that things will go wrong from time to time.
When they do, members are entitled to expect that the Director or Manager concerned will accept responsibility for the problems and explain what has happened. Brian has done precisely that and I for one would like to thank him.
Elsewhere on the other place, there are comments and questions about the failure to switch to the new membership year on 1st July as resolved by Council and about the apparent lack of reaction to the ECF to the now restricted access to the FIDE ratings website. On those important matters, response cometh there none.
