Open letter of the FMJD President

Open letter of the President of the World draughts federation (FMJD) to the members of the Managing Board.

The resignation of few core members of the Managing Board of the World draughts federation (FMJD) leads to unexpected situation for me. In this situation and without knowing the real reason of decision of my respected colleague's I can not give you, the members of the Managing Board any ready-made answer or prescription. I can only express my regret.
Still I would like to speak out some points.

1. The work in the Managing Board of the World draughts federation (FMJD) is public, that means unpaid. I suppose this work is for people with vocation, people who love draughts whole hearted, selflessly, having only the moral satisfaction. Normally these people are inviting sponsors or bringing self something for financial support of their favourite game. They donate not only financial middles but private life, time, family. Why I'm saying it? Because anyone who uses his own (private) time for the public work can have some mistakes or unfinished work.

2. Financial activity always drew attention of many persons, whether they belong to these affairs or not. Therefore, there is about the same approach in all countries also for such organizations as the FMJD - always provide a transparency and publicity to avoid misinterpretation. As a rule, the control commission is being elected which periodically, according to rules checks up and reports in official form, signed by both parties. It is irrelevant whether there were expenses or not. Absence of transparency and of publicity in financial (and in other) affairs always brings certain interest of insufficient informed persons.

3. Nobody , even the member of the control commission can make premature conclusions based only on assumptions and reasoning. If he wasn't admitted to the necessary documents he should write about it referring to the Articles of Statutes and points of Bye-Laws of the FMJD. Then the collegial decision is being taken with measures to the person who didn't admit the control. To criticize from the side line is always easier than to organize the routine work. There are also always people who like to earn by this way doubtful image.

4. About complicity to work with the President ( letter of J. Bus ). I have to accept that it is true. But when you elected me you knew about the problems ( language, distance, etc.) But I try to be well informed about all events. For one and a half year I missed only one or two meetings of Managing Board and even that not on my fault. Yes, actually I'm really busy with the organisation of the Woman's World Championship. We will hold it without problems. We have to organize the General Assembly of the FMJD. I participated in the GA in Abidjan (1996), Tallinn (1998), Moscow (2001) and Amsterdam (2005). And I know the level of their organization. I'm sure the GA in Yakutsk ( June 2007 ) will be organized on the highest level.


And concerning the agenda I invite responsible persons to prepare well every point.

Finishing my open letter I invite everybody to think, analyze and to refrain from premature declarations. I mean the resignations as well as the not confirmed by the fact financial violations published on different sites.

I believe you all that the sense will prevail in favour of development of our game. From 2003 the new fresh forces came into Managing Board, let's give them time to work.

And one more point. If the GA gave the power – the power may be taken off by the same way.

I'm agree to gather in the Netherlands on April, 14 and reserved already the ticket. If Johan will send the invitation then from April, 3 in Moscow will start to make the visa. About the place and time of the meeting please ask Johan Bastiaannet.


See you.
Sincerely yours,

Vladimir Ptitsyn
