Dear
chessfriends,
First of all I would like to thank all delegates who have given me
the honour to serve ICCF as President and I also take this
opportunity to thank all CC friends who expressed their
congratulations. I was very disappointed not to have been able to
reach the ICCF Congress in Argentina due to serious travel
difficulties.
I take this opportunity to thank LADAC and particularly my friend
Carlos Cranbourne for hosting the congress 2005 in a beautiful area.
My thanks to all serving ICCF officials, Tournament Offices and TDs
for the wonderful jobs they are doing and I would like to welcome
Claudio (new Marketing Commissioner), Frank (new World Tournament
Director) and Michael (new Financial Director and Direct Entry
Coordinator), and hope for fruitful cooperation for the benefit of
ICCF and all CC players.
The AMICI SUMUS spirit will prevail in the future and any problem
will be resolved not only in accordance to ICCF Statutes and Rules,
but also with dialogue and respect. As ICCF President I will make
sure everyone has the right to express their opinion, even if it is
not shared by the majority, but it is out of the question to
tolerate outrageous or insulting behaviour. We always must keep in
mind that we love CC because for us, CC represents fun, fair play
and friendship.
We are all waiting for the preparation and issue of the draft
Minutes of the Argentina Congress and I intend to assume my
responsibilities over the next few weeks and become fully
responsible as ICCF President effective from 1st January 2006. I
will issue another message before the end of this year, with a
progress report.
With very best wishes to everyone in ICCF and all of its Member
Federations,
AMICI SUMUS
M. Samraoui. ICCF President elect
