A δF-weighting scheme is proposed for investigating the gyrokinetic Fokker Planck equation describing the dynamics of e.m. perturbations in a multi-species toroidal magnetoplasma. It is shown that Monte Carlo collision operators can be consistently defined to describe Coulomb binary collisions in such a way to assure conservation of collisional invariants as well as to take into account the full nonlinear particle characteristics.
