8a. Motion on WYCC – Barron / Noritsyn (full text see below)
The following Motion, was moved by Michael Barron and seconded by Nikolay Noritsyn at the January Governors Meeting:
To amend sub paragraph 712 (a) by adding the following sentence:
If the winner is unable to participate at WYCC, this fact shall be announced on the public CFC Forum as soon as it became known.
The amended sub paragraph 712 (a) shall read:
"712.Participation in the World Events:
INVITED PLAYERS
a) Canadian Youth Chess Championship (CYCC) is a qualifier to international youth chess competitions.
Top 3 finishers in each section are qualified to become official representatives for:
1) World Youth Chess Championship (WYCC);
2) Pan American Youth Chess Championship;
3) North American Youth Chess Championship.
If the winner is unable to participate at WYCC, this fact shall be announced on the public CFC Forum as soon as it became known.
If the winner is unable to participate, the second place finisher shall be invited to go in his place. If the second place finisher also declines, the highest finisher in the tournament who is willing to participate in the world event (if not rejected by CFC Executive due to the sub paragraph (d)), shall be selected. The CFC Board of Directors shall use an appropriate tie-breaking method to break ties if required to determine the order of finish.
All official representatives to WYCC should receive financial support from CFC to reduce their travel expenses. "

I am also concerned with the wording of "as soon as it became known". This is not practical because this requires someone to monitor all the all the players at all times and then respond immediately.
Seems like someone should move a specifically worded amendment motion to the original motion filed. Would it be possible (I believe it is not good form) for the mover/seconder to accept the amendment as a "friendly" one, and thus amend their original motion, and save us having to vote on both an amending motion, and then a main motion. Can we be that informal to be somewhat more efficient?
