Amendment to motion 2012-H: Moved - Kevin Pacey; Seconded : Halldor Palsson

Just before 'Certificates and Pins', etc., near the end of the text of Motion 2012-H, insert the following Regulation as an amendment:

7. Regulation for retroactively awarded TD titles

Notwithstanding regulations 1, 2 and 4 above, the title of RTD shall be awarded for life retroactively to current CFC members who prior to 1 January 2012 have directed at least 40 CFC-rated events, and who apply to receive such a retroactively awarded title. Similarly, the title of NTD shall be awarded for life retroactively to current CFC members who prior to 1 January 2012 have directed at least 60 CFC-rated events, and who apply to receive such a retroactively awarded title. For such retroactively awarded TD titles, Licence fee will still be charged every 6 years.

Commentary:( by Kevin Pacey )

The feelings I have about such grandfathering of TDs are similar to Halldor's. I feel that if people have directed 40+ tournaments already, and haven't been driven out of the business because of complaints, then they probably aren't doing too bad a job of directing.

Procedural Issue :

Need a ruling by the chair on whether to allow the amendment to come to a vote before the end of this meeting (as it is past day #3, 6 pm EDT, of the meeting, which ordinarily would be the deadline for amendments to be made ).

Ruling: awaiting a ruling from the CFC President, Michael von Keitz
