The last person who did that at an FQE election has been defeated 5 times. Under the previous in person CFC procedure, nomination for vice-president were not closed until after the election of the president. Candidate for vice-president do know who will be president before standing which was an advantage.

    Could you please make sure that I am properly nominated? I have looked at the incoming meeting and I do not see my nominations.

    Michael has made it official for the Appeals Committee. I saw Vlad submit your name for the other positions in one thread. i will follow up regarding the others.

    There now appears to be several nominees for Vice President, so I will not submit your name.

    Vlad clearly posted "My ruling is that Pierre can run for the posts of President, Treasurer and National Appeal Committee member and I will nominate him for these in order to fulfill the requirements. I believe that outsiders who are CFC regular members or Life Members should be allowed to run for any CFC office. There is no tournament coordinator election scheduled so he cannot run for that office."

    So that's that.

    I agree with almost all your post except for the Tournament Coordinator.

    We should be voting for Tournament Coordinator. The changes to the bylaws required for the abolition of this office has not been approved by the outgoing assembly. The change is thus automatically repelled as well as all the changes voted during the last year.

    If you vote for me, there will be no more of this kind of omission. Approval of bylaw changes must be on the outgoing agenda as a routine precaution even if nothing has changed.

    Okay, very good. I will not mention this again.

    It has been written in the incoming AGM that training of arbiters and organisers is almost impossible.

    It has now become simple due to the availability of Free Software that can be used to automate the task. I was testing this simple LTD test section when I realized that the LTD has been abolished. I disagree with this abolition.


    I agree that training arbiters and organisers should be separated from generating bids for national tournaments.

    Way back when, we had the Tournament Director & Organizer Certification Program (TDOCP). We had an actual test, but again long time ago.

    Again, volunteer work is needed, but a simple 20 question test could be designed along with some on the job experience under the eye of a CTD should get someone certified.

    I setup the software under Ubuntu Server running in a virtual box.

    The software deliberately has very stringent requirements designed to make it hard to run it in a shared host. My ISP does not permit me to make my home computer available over the net otherwise I would simply open my port 80.

    I have checked again and it can be put on shared hosting so I will set it up. This will take some time.
