This thread is for voting on motion 7B which is:

Moved by Paul Leblanc, seconded by Fred McKim.

Replace existing CFC Handbook article 436

New Article:

436. Rating Non-Residents. If a non-resident player or new Canadian resident has a USCF or FIDE rating, the rating system in which the player has played the most recent games will be used to determine his first CFC rating. If a non-resident is inactive in Canada for a year but has a change in his USCF or FIDE rating, his CFC rating will be adjusted accordingly

Old Article:
436. Foreign Events and Ratings. If a foreign player has a rating in his own country or from FIDE, that will be used to determine his first CFC rating. If he is inactive in Canada for a year but has a change in his foreign rating, his changed foreign rating will be used to recalculated his CFC rating.

New residents of Canada without a CFC rating are considered unrated, whether or not they have a foreign rating.

Please no discussion here unless it is of a technical nature relating to the vote itself. Thread 7B remains open for discussion of the motion.

Please vote YES, NO or ABSTAIN
