This note is to remind you that our AGM 10-week cycle started on September 27th.
1 – We have received one resolution here attached about championship rules:
Following discussion the exec approved a change to the championship regulations. This now needs to be voted on by the world council.
Championship regulation 8.8.2b currently states:

For Continental Championships, there shall be no restriction on the maximum number
of places for any Continental Member NCA. Places shall be allocated one per
Continental Member NCA to those Member NCAs still wanting them, using the List. If
any Continental Member NCA has requested places after the initial closing date, they
should be added at this stage.

Rule 8.8.2b now reads:
For Continental Championships, there shall be no restriction on the maximum number of
places for any Continental Member NCA. Places shall be allocated one per Continental
Member NCA to those Member NCAs still wanting them, using the List. If any Continental
Member NCA has requested places after the initial closing date, they should be added at
this stage. Except for the European Championship, any non-continental NCA still
requesting places will be added to the list. Maximum entry number for these non-continental
NCAs shall be 9.
