I just received this from our ExD today, and will make some comments after I have a chance to review it ........

The type of commentary that I think would be required here would be at a level that a novice player could follow.

I don't think it would be a good idea to modify the eligibility requirement, and instead simply be prepared to make no awards for 20/21.

Yes. Agreed.

I think we need to be aware that simply using the FQE process in any way, shape, or form likely comes with a "cost".

To do these properly we would need a commentary team.

While this may be possible for some higher profile events, the run of the mill one day club swiss doesn't have the infrastructure for this .... and instead goes for charging a token entry fee with...

This is not my preference, as I agree with you, but offered up as a compromise if there is too much opposition to the status quo.

Chess.com / Lichess.org make very little money off of people who just want to come and play chess. Money is made from teaching and viewing GM play.

Anyone who had a valid CFC membership on Mar 1, 2020 received an 8 month extension to their membership. I think our best offer to our members would be to sell memberships, until further notice, with...

So far 16 have pre-registered with FM Eugene Hua as #1 seed.

Here's a list of our club events, along with a couple...

I just had a phone call from Wilf Ferner, former CFC Executive member, passing on the sad news that former CFC President, Martin Jaeger (Toronto) passed away this morning. His obituary will be in the...

Reading between the lines, I think Nikolay is asking whether more than one person reviewed the voting. When we held in-person meetings there would always be two people counting the votes.

Traditionally, any election for Executive, Officer, Committee Member or Voting Member of unaffiliated province is by secret ballot.

I think the complete list of Governors was published on the CFC web site, until the NFP act. As I mentioned before, we have been directed not to share this list. I think in future years if Candidates...

Now that I don't agree with. Some people might wonder how you know that. If you can see who voted, then that information should be public.

Well, I think that most of the VM's who attend the meeting will vote, especially this year when there is a hot race for President. What is more surprising is that we have 47 VM's attending the...

I'm not so sure that having the results of the voting available while the election is going on is the best way of doing business, but in a sense it mirrors Federal elections. However campaigning...

I will try to get Lyle to post a list of all of the VM's who joined the meeting before the meeting is over. I think there were another 20 or so after the first list. It looks like at least 90% of the...

I investigated this option with the Convention Centre we're playing in at Thanksgiving - even with only 25-40 players, the load would be too much on their Internet. Probably a big hotel might be more...

Thanks for your tireless work in this portfolio, that is often so difficult to fill. Don't forget that you can form a Youth Committee, if you find you need help.

It seems we will have time to see what happens in Europe as they return to OTB Chess.

I am resuming OTB Chess at Thanksgiving with the 2020 Maritime Chess Festival. I even have a page of COVID-19...

Certainly the Voting Members should have transparency in those cases where any action is taken. In this case no action was taken. While the majority of the Executive voted for an action, President...
