I'm interested as well since I missed the second half after lunch. Had to go home and do water-babies with my daughter.

Seeing this long list of reports leaves most participants inactive. Did they travel across the country to listen to somebody read paper? Couldn't reports be emailled and start the meeting by saying all reports accepted, allowing meeting time to be used mostly for interaction? With no time to discuss, all the decisions go back to email. It seems backwards.

Actually, little time was spent on reports.

Hi Erik:

In fact you are partly right - some officers wrote their report into the recent 2010-1 GL 4 ( now posted on the CFC Website - look under the " CFC Info " tab ), and merely asked if there were any questions/comments. Some also had addenda to their written reports on more recent issues that had come up.

However, some had not gotten a report into the GL, and so they had to give an oral one, and take questions.

Ideally, all should be, as you say, in writing in the GL, distributed, along with the agenda, well in advance of the meeting.

I submitted through my proxy two motions for a discussion. Were they seconded at least?

Who held your proxy?
Perhaps you should ask them (unless it was Bob Armstrong, and you are already asking...)

What were the motions ?

They were regarding Junior championships.

It was in a written form in the proxy. Imho, thus it should be not critical who held it. Anyway, it was directed to Michael Barron, and I'll chat with him tomorrow. (Kerry, do you plan to come to CO?)

I missed 20 minutes of the meeting yesterday afternoon, so unless they happened then, I'd say no.

I was at the CO last night ... I think that might be it for me (I found it rather hot and stuffy and very few places to sit down to have a chat with some old friends). I just don't see heading down there again this week.
