Your second “inquiry” contains errors in fact and in law. Moreover, it includes so-called “loaded questions”, i.e. those that contain implicit assumptions benefiting the questioner. The use of such questions is objectionable and/or restricted in any court of law or deposition process.
However, I am sure that, like all esteemed Forum users, you have noble intentions, and it is just your complete lack of knowledge about international chess and especially FIDE “B06. Regulations for the Titles of Arbiters” that motivated you. I am always glad to help people learn more about chess, so I am answering your questions below. This will be my last comment on these matters.
1) The FIDE Elections took place on *October 03, 2018*.
2) The FIDE Management Board was constituted on *November 09, 2018*.
3) There is a prescribed period for all player/ arbiter / trainer applications. They have to be received at least thirty (30) days before the General Assembly session. To arrive in time for the September 2018 FIDE Congress, my application had to be delivered to FIDE no later than August, about two months before Mr. Dvorkovich’s triumphal electoral win. My FA application was approved by the previous FIDE administration led by Mr. Makropoulos. :-)
Alas, these questions show complete lack of understanding how the arbiter title process works. Like players who need norms for an IM or GM titles, arbiters earn norms gradually over the years. It takes four distinct norms for an FA title and then four other, more complex, norms for an IA title.
A good place to start learning is
Several of my colleagues, respected International Arbiters, have writing privileges in your Forum. Mark Dutton, Stephen Wright, Aris Marghetis, Pierre Dénommée and the others would be able to educate you on this topic, should you be interested in joining our ranks and pursuing arbiters' titles and licenses,
Goodbye.
