I see that the ECF has congratulated Alex Holowczak, with a copy of a letter from FIDE President Arkady Dvorkovich
Dear Mr. Holowczak
As you are aware, the FIDE Chess Olympiad 2024 will take place in Budapest, Hungary, and is scheduled to be held from 10 to 23 September 2024.
This event is of great importance for the world-wide projection of the image of FIDE.
In this connection, I am writing to inform you that I have approved your appointment as TAP (Technical Administration Panel) Chair of the event.
I'm sure we all congratulation Alex as well; however I'd love to know what a TAP does (no silly comments please).
Congratulations
