I would not say that it is serious stuff. Just stuff.

Certainly the subject matter of the seminar is much more serious.

I will ask the presenter.

It is a very good suggestion. Thank you for volunteering.

It was a three vote difference as one of the votes for overturning was ineligible. I'm not sure if there is a way to audit the time of the votes but every vote after 6 pm should have been impossible.

This Proposal will be tabled to the next meeting in April.

It is out of order and I will be attending the show as a guest.

One point of order at a time. Are we going to do ten of them?

A point of order was raised in the meeting. I ruled it out of order. There was an appeal. The vote is on the matter of that...

All polls were scheduled to close at 6 pm EST. You even posted this yourself.

All votes were supposed to be finished at six. At least one ineligible voter (not a voting member) voted yes. The plurality was six votes at 6 pm if you strike the ineligible voter.

Congratulations to Patricia Gamliel Director at Large and Victor Plotkin FIDE representative on their joining the board of directors of the Chess Federation of Canada. The vote on the point of order...

We have not required a seconder for voting to start for 7.5 years that I have been President at least and I don't recall that it was required for the 2 years that I was masters rep either.

We cannot change it in the middle of voting. If you want the point of order appeal to succeed and over-rule the chair vote yes. If you want to uphold the chair, vote no. If you want to abstain,...

Neither of the candidates wanted to stop the election and so we proceeded forward. By my understanding, FIDE did not want to be seen weighing in on one side or the other. All of these matters will...

If we are talking about this Saturday, it would be possible for me to attend. I enjoyed watching your show with Vadim, Ken Reagan and the Marins. I am probably not ready to go all out medieval on...

It is not a requirement though and the NFP act leaves room for not-for profits to set some of their own unique rules. This configuration was soundly rejected by the voting members/governors. You...

There are a lot of great Canadian chess stories. We have to start telling them.

Thanks for sharing that. Excellent video.

Things could have been done better. I did ask that it be incorporated into the director election thread as a multi-section or multi-option vote but Lyle is busy and may have missed it in the many...
