Isn't that a bit like having Ron Paul vetted by Hannity and Colmes? Any
vetting of Chess variants has to be done by people who are seriously
interested in Chess variants. FIDE's main interest is in preserving the
integrity of Chess, not in entertaining alternatives to it. The main point
I was making earlier can be summed up like this:

If you neglect the development of your games, and you neglect the
presentation of your games, and you neglect to provide software to play
your games, and you neglect to play your games yourself, you're liable to
find that other people will neglect your games too.

So I encourage game inventors to invest time and attention into
development, presentation, playtesting, and providing ZRFs or Game Courier
presets.
