I am happy for Viktor to set these standards. No need to open up a debate.
May I add that if the Provincial President is an NA that meets para 1.c
I support this proposal
I agree with Victor's four points. I would also note that the CFC rating bonus formula can be adjusted to add more rating points to the system by rewarding strong performance rather than the FIDE...
Thank you Vlad. I will discuss the details with Bob regarding the life membership income, the Pugi fund obligations etc.
I nominate Micah Hughey of Alberta to a one year term. Micah has agreed to stand.
I nominate Roger Langen of Nova Scotia to a 4 year term. Roger has indicated that he is willing to stand.
We have two brilliant offers from Vancouver and it has been a long time since Vancouver hosted a Canadian Open. I agree with Vlad's decision to require the winning bid to get 51% of the votes, using...
The situation in BC is similar to Alberta. We have one IA and an FA who is only occasionally available. I believe that a recommendation from an IA or FA and a second recommendation from the...

As I am travelling this week and only just received the final figures for life memberships I will submit an abbreviated report. The final report will go to the CFC...
FAQ: my CFC membership does not have an expiry date? What does that mean?
When juniors acquire a (free) membership number there is no expiry date shown on the CFC website. When they later enter regular tournaments, organizers have to explain to them that they do not have...
The middle range of players, rated roughly 1200 to 2000 have lost an average of about 100 rating points since 2017. Those below 1200 and the top players have been pretty stable.
4.I. Chess Foundation of Canada
Income from the Foundation in FY 2022/2024 was $15,713, an all-time high. Of this $923 is allocated to the Pugi Fund for junior players and a further $450 is...
The BC Chess Federation does not file tax returns either. The only document we file with any government is the annual report to the Registry of BC Societies listing the executive voted in at the...
Thank you Egidijus. I will decline as I am more focused on running tournaments these days. Ian or Tony would both do a fine job.
Well, it appears that Les has chosen not to stand for re-election.
Not counting Les, we have trustees from BC, Alberta, Quebec and Nova Scotia. It would be nice to have someone from Ontario. A...
I nominate Hugh Brodie for the 4 year term
I wish to nominate Les Bunning for the 1 year term. I will nominate Hugh Brodie for the 4 year term in the other thread.
I believe that if we can afford it, we need a part-time assistant for the CFC office. Specifically, invoice handling and remittance of provincial membership revenue are falling behind. I'm sure Bob...
BC tournaments are also attracting record turnouts. Some are reaching maximum capacity well before the events.
Our biggest challenge is finding affordable playing sites. Meeting room and guest...

4.J. Chess Foundation of Canada
Nothing special to report. $450k under management, forecast contribution to the CFC for this fy about $14,500.
If you are updating your will, remember the Chess...
I would also like to note that the "Chess Foundation of Canada" is not a separate entity from the CFC. It is merely the investment arm of the CFC and holds funds in trust to support the CFC.
It...
The current CFC rating rules only allow this if an arbiter is present at all playing sites. I would be reluctant to support an exception.
