Proposal: Establish a Chess Variants Standards and Guidelines Committee

Purpose: To publish guidelines and standards relating to the development
and playing of chess variations. Guidelines would be used by the chess
variant community to help reduce confusion and inconsitency. Enforcement
of such guidelines would be voluntary.

Membership: Obvious choices would be: Hans Bodlaender, David Pritchard,
Ralph Betza (just to keep things interesting), John William Brown, Fergus
Duniho, Glenn Overby, Michael Howe, Peter Aronson. Membership would be
non-paying.

Hosting: The Chess Variant Pages would host the committee and act as a
public forum for committee deliberations and for posting of any committee
publications.

Positions: 

President: Responsible for choosing which issues get decided when
Secretary: Responsible for writing and posting committee publications
Treasurer: Unnecessary?
