What about contacting polish people? They had quite a big tournament (http://www.meccg.net/dforum/viewtopic.php?t=1767) and I think they could become our next target for an active national council.

Maybe if we contact them, get positive feedback, assign a prequalified slot to Poland, we will give them a nice incentive to create a council.

<MODE "COUNCIL CREATOR" OFF :wink: >

I'm reluctant to award a slot to them retrospectively. After all, I contacted several of the lead Polish players last year to ask if they wanted to join CoE and was largely ignored (They said, "yeah, sure, just not now.").

However, it would certainly be a good idea to ask them to join so that next year they get a slot, ne cest pas?
