FIDE doesn't already require annual dues from a player, in order for them to participate in rated tournaments?
I only know my national federation, but in order to play in a USCF rated tournament one must be an active USCF member which requires annual dues. I had always just assumed FIDE was the same, which I suppose it would be if that proposal goes through. It really never occurred to me that FIDE might not have already been that way, so forgive me if I show a lack of outrage
