2. A few days after I was elected as a replacement, I received an email from the Chairman of the FIDE Arbiter Commission. In this email, Mr. Freyd thoroughly explained why this commission must immediately reject Diana's application. He also criticized our President for intervening in FIDE responsibilities.
3. Actually, this wasn't surprising for me at all, as I trust Hal Bond's opinions; he is one of the top arbiters. However, Vlad continues to act in favour of this application. Vlad sent another letter to FIDE about this matter without even consulting with me, as the FIDE Representative. Taking these controversial steps behind my back is, in my opinion, inappropriate for the CFC President. I don't accept the explanation that he provided me, which stated that he didn't want me to be involved with this case because it began before I was elected.
4. I understand, and even appreciate, that Vlad continues to support his friends. He continues to support Vadim even after Vadim lost the election and his position in FIDE, at least temporarily. This is generally a very good quality in a person - Vlad is a good friend, but I am unsure if he is a good CFC President.
