Thanks Vlad.
As former President of the CFC before your term and as a Executive Vice-President for 10 years - I will accept this nomination and stand for the "Board".
Some continuity with the new elected Executive would be a valuable thing.

Vlad. Still waiting for the interpretation on this.
The NFP act allows for a corporation to have a minimum of 3 and of maximum of 10 Directors. This is equivalent to what we called the Executive / Board of Directors, previously. We have had 7 for quite some time.
By all means if there are other nominations let us hear them.
I would have thought the term "Nomination" in the name of this thread would indicate other nominations are welcome but if it has to be explicitly stated so be it.
The two required items in a nomination are the name of the person nominated and some indication (and the CFC has always been flexible on what this means) that he/she accepts his/her nomination and is willing to serve if elected. A seconder to a nomination is NOT needed for the nomination to be valid.
Legally as previously stated, if you're signed into the meeting you are presumed to have accepted any nomination if you do not specifically decline it. A nominee NOT present has either 10 or 15 days (I'd have to go back to the act to verify which) to accept / decline a nomination.
For myself if there are two candidates that are nominated one who has accepted and one not I almost always vote for the confirmed nominee unless I have strong reasons otherwise. That's me - as they say "your mileage might vary"
Lyle. Is it possible to edit the name of the thread, to make it more understandable.
Nomination for 7th/General Director Position (formerly Past-President) .... or something.
Can anybody clarify: where and when "7" came into an action?Quote:

Continuing as CFC President would actually diminish Vlad's contributions to Canadian chess: the Windsor kids would suffer without him, and the CFC membership would suffer with him.
What' needed for leadership is flexibility, openness, honesty and integrity, people skills and Vlad has none of these".
Unfortunately you've identified one of the "features" of vBulletin I am most annoyed with.Quote:

Once again, we are allowed 3-10 directors. We had 7 under the old rules, so it makes sense that we would continue with 7 unless a vote was held to change this number.Quote:
