"... As to what to do about Mr. Tanner, one thing we
cannot do is remove him from the board. He was
elected by the members to a four year term that
expires in 2009. He is entitled to serve in that
position and I would not even think of trying to
remove him.
_
He can however be removed from his positions as
USA Zone President and as a member of the FIDE
Qualification Commission, FIDE Rules Commission
and FIDE Ethics Commission. I hope that he
voluntarily resigns those positions to save the USCF
and himself the embarassment of removing him from
those positions.
_
He can and should be removed from his positions as
liaison to various USCF Committees, including the
Rules Committee.

I doubt that he will be hired to direct any more national
scholastic tournaments. It will be up to Tim Just to
start proceedings to revoke his TD certification. ..."

"In light of the recent findings of the USCF Ethics
Committee regarding games I played in the early
1990s I feel that it is in the best interest of both
USCF and the chess community that I resign my
position as a member of the USCF Executive
Board as well as FIDE Zonal President and all
FIDE Committees and Commissions. ..."
