ORGANISATIONAL DEVELOPMENT 5. EVENTS 6. ARBITERS 7. TRAINERS 8. MARKETING AND ADMINISTRATION 9. OTHER DEVELOPMENT GOALS APPENDIX I OCEANIA DEMOGRAPHY APPENDIX II FIDE PLAYER STATISTICS APPENDIX III PROPOSED BUDGET 2011-2014 2 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 The Oceania region excels at almost all outdoor sports activities but chess, which is mainly an indoor activity, is not yet widely recognised as a serious sport. It is noted that FIDE aims to achieve worldwide recognition for chess as a sport but, whilst Australia and New Zealand have longstanding chess traditions, and nearby countries such as Philippines and Indonesia are mad about chess, there is very little chess played in Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia. As a result there is enormous potential for chess development in the region. 1.2 The administration of chess in Oceania needs more active resources and an improved organisation structure. It is proposed to create an Oceania Chess Confederation (OCC) from 1 January 2011. OCC Members would be the countries that are Members of FIDE Zone 3.6 (currently six). Dependencies and countries from other Zones would be welcomed to join as Associate Members. 1.3 It is proposed that a Policy Board consisting of delegates from the member Countries would oversee the OCC. An Executive Committee would be responsible for all day- to-day matters. The OCC Chief Executive would be the FIDE Zone 3.6 President. 1.4 Development is planned in many areas, including: • Major Events and Championships • Arbiter and Trainer Education • Marketing, Communications and Administration • Chess-in-Schools • Other Goals established at the 2009 Oceania meeting in the Gold Coast 1.5 The proposed Budget for 2011-2014 is included in Appendix III.
