EB01-123 (Board) In the matter of the challenge about the USCF affiliate for Alaska, the Board accepts the report of the Affiliate Committee as amended:

 

“It is the unanimous opinion of the affiliates committee that it is important that a completely proper and democratic election by mail be held in the state of Alaska to officially determine leadership of the official USCF affiliate.

 

The election will take place in Alaska within the next year and any USCF voting member shall be sent a ballot where they can mark their preference for affiliate leadership.

 

To insure a fair and proper election, these ballots will be mailed to the USCF office in New Windsor, where after a certain length of time has elapsed, the USCF will compile the results and announce the results to all members in the state of Alaska.

 

The USCF strongly urges cooperation, discussion and a mutual show of respect by the various parties regardless of the election results, in helping Alaska chess to grow and thrive.”

 

Passed 7-0-0
