Bob will post a report later, but in the meantime I'm attaching the CFC Financial statements. I can discuss any aspect of these on 4L (Treasurer's Report).

I realize I am joining the meeting a little late with my report but CFC rating the North American Youth Championships 2019 Kingston last week and FIDE rating it this week has kept me very busy. I still have one section (U8 Open) to submit, but it is giving me some grief.
The good news is that we have been experiencing strong growth in memberships since 2015.
Annual numbers reported May 1 are
2015 – 1,861 2016 – 2,065 2017 – 2,133 2018 – 2,284 2019 – 2,501
As of today - 2,595
Strong growth which appears to be accelerating.
The CFC office is struggling to keep up. I want to express my appreciation to the many members who have been very patient waiting (for title certificates, account balances, etc.). I am looking forward to getting the Go membership system up and functioning, getting those annoying website hacks fixed, and answering emails quicker. Well, that’s the plan.
I learned from the FQE what has happened there. Currently, very few persons are aware of the situation. We are all waiting for the CFC decision on this issue.Quote:

Thank you for the answer Hal. The forth place player will have nothing special to do, this was the main point that I was interested in. If he had a complain to file to the NAC or to FIDE, there would have been deadlines. I am happy to find that the case has been handled correctly and that the Qualification Commission will now decide without any further intervention from us or the players involved.Quote:

Are we going to allow the 4th place finisher to go to the Pan American Youth Festival if he pays for his expenses ? Only the Gold Medalist automatically become an official player, but we usually allow all medalists to attend.
As far as I know we have no restrictions on Canadian Youth players attending the Pan-Am YCC, only the WYCC and WCCC.Quote:
