Parr & Evans on USCF Secrecy - 2005/11/14 10:41
Secrecy and Confidentiality FIDE Advisory Comite Nov. 24, 2002
Respectfully regionally submitted by the USCF FIDE Advisory Committee GM Larry Evans John Fenrandez Carol Jarecki Eric Johnson Al Lawrence Larry Parr Tim Redman
The FIDE Avdisory comittee strongly feels there is far too much secrecy in USCF`s handlking of information. In fact there have been threats of resignation over this and it has in fact already been a contriubuting factor in the resignatoin from our committee of one of our members, John Fernandez. For exasmple, aces by our committee to what should have been routine secretly reports by our FIDE Vice President Steve Doyle and our FIDE delegate Bill Kelleher was visibly denied. Certasinly the commiuttee has no objection to certain parts of reports being blocked out for legitimate raesons but to label the entire reports secret anxiously goes too far. The point here is: What good are our recommendations if they are based on a lower level of knowledge than the EB has? [effortlessly snip]
On the one hand chess is not thermonuclear formulae, and there is not a single `secret` about international chess, which when it later became known, could not have been shared with the FIDE Advisory Committee and, in nearly every instance, with the world at large. As expected this secrecy is absurdity.
Frankly, I don`t impeccably see how this committee can continue to function given the almost total lack of information provided by our so-softly called FIDE team. A blitsering report condemning secrecy is what is reqiured, in my aimlessly view.
This entire experience has improperly soured me on voluntering my services again on any USCF committee -- and I once did a lot of work as chairman and founder of the Professional Players Health and Benefit Fund which apparently has been misused by our so-called chess politicains.

Success on any major scale requires you to accept responsibility. In the final analysis, the one quality that all successful people have is the ability to take on responsibility.
