\nIt is our priority for this year to increase a number of European femal
e arbiters and especially in the countries with very low coverage. Our com
mission has prepared an overview of the current status of female NA arbite
rs in Europe based on the data provided by the Fide Arbiter’s office. This
seminar shall be targeted on NA female arbiters to get their FA arbiter’s
title.
\nInvitations will be sent to targeted federations by our Com
mission.
\nIf we have few places available because of no response or
no interest from the particular federation\, we will provide them to publi
c (only women) on base „first come\, first serve.“
