7. Motion 2012-G Class Certificates Amending Motion (Chris Mallon)
Update to the Class Certificates regulations
Moved Chris Mallon, Seconded Lyle Craver
Modify Handbook Section 738 (Rating Categories, Titles, and Certificates).
1. Modify the title of the section from “Rating Categories” to “Rating Classes”
2. In section b)i., replace “category” with “class”
3. In section b)iii., replace “only CFC ratings count” with “only CFC regular ratings count”
4. Add section b)vi., “Titles and Classes are not awarded to Foreign players or members.”
5. Add section b)vii., “Rating Floors are used only as the minimum required published rating to achieve titles or classes, and do not prevent a member’s rating from dropping below the rating floor for that member’s title or class.”
6. Add section b)viii., “At any time, should a member’s published, established regular rating exceed 100 points above the rating floor for a title, they will achieve that title even if they do not have sufficient norms.”
Commentary: This is mostly housekeeping, and also to clear up some confusion regarding the intent of rating floors. The new section b)viii. allows us to award classes and titles to those who achieved them prior to the creation of the database in 1996 and may not have sufficient norms on record.
Qualification of Over 100 Points Above the Floor?

Hi Chris:
I favour your b)viii) only if it specifically states that it is for use ONLY re certificate requests re " achievement prior to the creation of the database in 1996 ". Otherwise there becomes two tests for achievement of the certificate, as I understand it: either the three norms; or a rating in excess of 100 points above the certificate floor. This would be a bad idea.
Could you and the seconder so request the Chair to amend your motion?
