WMSG Representation – request for comments
Although it may seem a long way away, the 2012 world mind sports games will
come sooner than we think. In 2008, we were poorly prepared and had to make
a number of decisions on representation on the spur of the moment. In order
to try and avoid this happening again, I have put together some proposals
here:WMSG Representation
I would be grateful if you could take a look and add any comments or
opinions you may have. The page is on the wiki, so you can edit the page
directly if you have an account (which is easy to obtain), alternatively
you can send your comments to me directly, or reply to the SAGA mailing list.
In order to take a consolidated proposal to the next SAGA council meeting,
we need your feedback by the 15th of March 2009.
thanks
Chris Welsh
President: SA Go Association
