Egis, with all due respect, many Fide officials wear
numerous hats - it's the nature of talent to oversee
various branches of administration - and is common
to all sports organizations.
The NFP strictures relate to local bodies, not Fide.
You are a smart man, and I'm sure you know better

If we follow this canard - all 3 candidates should be
disqualified on grounds of 'conflict of interest'!
1. The Fide rep is responsible for selecting Arbiters
to do lucrative international duty - this selection
being coordinated with the Fide Arbiters Commission.
One of the candidates for Fide rep has posted his own
membership of the Fide Arbiters Commision!! What's to
stop him selecting himself, a direct conflict of interest!
2. The Fide rep coordinates with the Fide Board to
certify international master and grandmaster norms,
sometimes in circumstances that require personal
intervention from the Fide rep to push the title through.
Another candidate here has a child on the path to
achieving the grandmaster title. Shouldn't he recuse
himself on the grounds of 'conflict of interest?'
I have no skin in this game! Just want to see a level
playing field, and the most suitable candidate elected!
