It's more than that. The mechanism of how the "Class A Memberships" are granted needs to be DEFINED.
1) How many class A memberships are there?
2) How are they granted?
3) What is the duration of the memberships?

If it is a policy and if policies are defined by the executive, then a CFC Executive could appoint or remove these memberships arbitrarily. This is not acceptable.


There should be a bylaw stating that
1) The number of Class A members is equal to the total membership/50, alloted by province/territory.
2) The class A members are formally nominated by the class B members in each province/territory, through the policies of organizations within each province/territory.
3) In the event that no class A members nominated by class B members within a province/territory, the existing class A members can nominate class A members from that province/territory on behalf of that province/territory.
3. All formal nominations are granted without exception at the annual general meeting, provided that the nominee already has valid class B membership.
4) The duration of a class A membership is until the AGM of the following year.

With respect to life class A memberships, I don't think we should have them. Active life governors can easily be elected in the provincal AGMs, simply by raising their hands. If we want to grant persons the ability to provide advice as senior statesmen, there are ways that do not give them voting privledges in perpetutity without election.
