Rob, on your translation of my income statement, you indicated $2340 to give to the leagues, with no breakdown of percentage for each league. Then, in your sensible budget, you indicated $2370to the leagues, with a breakdown for each league. So there may have been a typo, and I am assuming $2370 for discussion purposes. I am sure you got these figures and based them on postal code memberships from the 4 geographical areas. It is interesting to be tracking which leagues are attracting more CFC members, and which are losing members. Maybe we can use this information in some way to promote chess better, but that is maybe better discussed at an annual meeting.
I realize most OCA presidents, secretaries and VP's (1 from each league) will be OCA governors. As far as I know, I am just Treasurer of OCA, not a governor. But, I suppose no volunteer at OCA level needs to be a governor. In that case, are OCA executive members who are not governors able to vote for or against this budget? I don't really care, as long as sensible decisions are made.
