There are FAs & IAs (another CFC webpage : http://chess.ca/arbiters-and-organizers ) that must have largely achieved those levels while our "TDOCP" was relatively dormant? Shouldn't all FAs & IAs, even IOs, active or inactive, also be designated as CFC NTDs?
Pierre makes very good sense to the extent that my personal #1 option would be to table this motion with a view to re-introducing it in April in a re-drafted form.
There is both the question of unaffiliated federations (mostly the FQE but not entirely so), at what level we require TD certification, the question of fees and non-specific language concerning software.
Speaking personally I would prefer tabling to taking a final vote on this motion now in its present form.
I support the idea - but the devil is in the details.
It seems there is an existing committee, now, so I suppose you could issue the request to revoke all of these titles to them.
This was the decision of the CFC in 2004 as a means of generating an initial list. There were criteria given to the Associations as to how to assign these titles.
Some of us received our titles under a previous CFC system and passed a written test in order to do so. Will you be revoking the titles of people who achieved them in this manner?
Parenthetically, Lyle, I have possessed a NB Teachers' License for 17 years without having been required to pay any fees.
I wasn't meaning to imply I thought we should revoke ALL previous titles, just the ones that were arbitrarily handed out in 2004 without any real criteria.
If we ARE keeping the ones from 2004 then the Ontario list should be added, I'm not sure why it's not included on the list published on the website. I might be way off but I do seem to recall about 120 names on it.
