Conduct an informal survey. But I predict you'll be disappointed if you expect more than 10% of them to consent to any change to FIDE whatsoever, even to play as an amusing variant, and even those wouldn't want to hear talk about a 'replacement' for FIDE. I think the next evolution of chess, if it's to have one, will have to attract players mostly from people who aren't serious FIDE players.
