Regarding redoing the CFC Handbook, I think renaming/reinventing the position of 'Past President' may be one obvious (if not the first) thing that should be done, now that the position is always to be filled by election rather than by the previous serving CFC president if he accepts. Don't know if the CFC would be required to pay the federal government for any paperwork that might be required of it, though.
I gave some slight thought to putting my name forward for nomination for the post, if only to have the experience of being on the CFC Board of Directors (and on its private message board), without having any specific duties (as far as I can tell). However, CFC Directors all have collective duties that are spelled out in the CFC Handbook, so besides only having a very slight interest, I feared being assigned a workload perhaps beyond any time or capabilities I might have, should I have been nominated and elected (made more problematic by my not currently being a voting member). At any rate, I am content to still field the odd email sent to me until the CFC formally fills the coordinator position I no longer formally fill for obtaining Canadian chess instructors' names to be listed on the CFC website.
[edit: perhaps the position of Past President might be replaced by Rating Auditor, which used to be included on the Board of Directors.]
