The charter +specifically+ requires that it alternate between North America and Europe. That hasn't been honored since 1989 in Alberta. The charter was set up to foster computer chess on both continents, _not_ just in Europe. It seems this gets forgotten when it is convenient. I'm not going to let it be forgotten again... We either change the name to ECCA/ECGA or we make it international again.
