What about the informal talks between sessions and the participation in subcommittees, to name only 2 major factors?
Anyway, the whole issue is still hypothetical. I would postpone the debate until this possibility becomes real.
At any rate, I understand your desire for Australia to become a full PCCC member, and I encourage you to do so – in the usual way.

Dear Juraj,
Your organisation is not under the roof of Chess federation - that´s why you are excellent in chess composition life. May I participate your tourneys if I am not member of my chess federation, If I am a "freelancer"?

@Uri. OK, you've convinced me! Of course what you mention is crucial, and would preclude video-delegates from being fully informed. So now I agree with you that voting rights ought to be withheld from them.
Thanks again for your encouragement; I'll try to get Australia on board.

I repeat once more:
(inappropiate parts removed)
Chess must become independent of politics: Once and for all time! Let chess not be corrupted!

I agree that all problemists are great persons!
Ok, I removed the inappropiate parts. Sorry!

Let Milan delete the comments of today here and we'll be fine, I hope.
I sent a note, by the way.

:-) You can remove the political comments, but you can't get away from politics and politicians. They will always try to use chess and to get you under their control. And you can't remove the politicians! :-)

Correction: You *can* remove politicians but
they apparently are Circe pieces. :-P

Here's what Hauke is talking about, I guess...
 (= 12+8 )
René J. Millour

Apologies to Mr. Millour. Here is the correct presentation he sent me:
QUOTE
In this problem, a WR must go down on 1st rank. Which R, that’s the question?
1.Ra1? Kxh6/a~ 2.g8S(+) K~7/g1QB+ 3.Rxa7+/Rxg1+ Kh8/Bg2 4.Be5/Sf7#
1... g1Q+ 2.Rxg1+ Bg2 3.g8S a~ 4.Sf7#, 2...Kxh6 3.g8Q Bg2 4.Sf7#
1... g1R 2.Rxg1(Rh8)+ Bg2 3.gxh8Q a~ 4.Sf7#
1... g1S 2.Rxg1(Sb8)+ Bg2 3.g8S ~~ 4.Sf7#, 2...Kxh6 3.g8Q Bg2 4.Sf7#
1... g1B+ 2.Rxg1(Bf8)+ Bg2 3.gxf8Q a~ 4.Bf4#,
2...Bxg7(g2) 3.Bf4+ Kxf4(Bc1)/Kf6 4.d3/e5#, but 2...Kh6! 3.gxf8Q+ Kh7 4.?
1.Rb1! Kxh6 2.g8S+ K~7 3.Rxa7+ Kh8 4.Be5#
1... g1Q+ 2.Rxg1+ Bg2 3.g8Q Kxh6/f6 4.Sf7/Be7# [3.g8S? stalemate]
1... g1R 2.Rxg1(Rh8)+ Bg2 3.gxh8R Kf6 4.Be7# [3.gxh8Q? stalemate]
1... g1S 2.Rxg1(Sb8)+ Bg2 3.g8S S~ 4.Sf7#, 2...Kxh6 3.g8Q Bg2 4.Sf7#
1... g1B+ 2.Rxg1(Bf8)+ Bg2 3.gxf8B Kf6 4.Be7# [3.gxf8Q? stalemate]
2...Bxg7(g2) 3.Bf4+ Kxf4(Bc1)/Kf6 4.d3/e5#, 2...Kxh6 3.exf8Q+ Kh7 4.Rxa7#
Norman Macleod: The Babson Task in a direct problem is already in itself a notable prowess, even in Circe, but what makes this problem really extraordinary is the remarkable try, with 3 promotions changed compared to the solution, and a refutation by far not evident.

If Karpov is about to candidate against Kirsan Ilyumzhinov as I read recently (if they are the only candidates), I support Karpov. With the book he wrote with Evgeny Gik ("Grossmeisterskij kompositziya" or the like) he knows about the importance of chess composition or should know.
There is no excuse if someone votes for Ilyumzhinov, who doesn't care about us.
Dear Andrey Selivanov, I hope you will vote for Karpov or also become candidate because with all due respect you are one of us and would, so I hope, fully understand our needs!

At the same time his PR used to be Dimitrije Bjelica (the biggest liar in a history of chess). Dimitrije Bjelica was showing at our national TV very known old endgames and telling that he played them on his own. Not one, but several of them. Although I do respect Mr. Karopov I do not understand why he was connected to this liar (unfortunately there is no any other word that I can use). I am afraid that if he becomes the president of FIDE that he is going to bring Dimitrije Bjelica and then it will be disaster.

I always proposed that Selivanov should become FIDE president. :-)

All people on top are liars or something like that.
Honest people fail during the hard way up.
In German it is "negative Auslese", I try an English
translation: "negative survival of the fittest"

A more succinct (but much cruder) Australian expression for this, which I submit at some risk of deletion due to profanity, is: "Shit floats".

Olaf & Ian,
I completely disagree with this kind of sentences
@ Olaf : Are you so sure that you are on the top of nothing ??
@ Ian : you know, many things float, and the things you mean mainly sink - even in Australia !

Hi Jacques. Well, yes, they sink eventually. But not until after causing a great stink and mess.
