This is very good news, and congratulations to the negotiating team. Is this the "perfect" deal? Of course not it never is; however it does address the key issues well enough to make it a deal that...

Present for the meeting

I recognize that this section of the handbook was likely drafted in the days of punch cards and tabulating machines, but it does give the President discretion on whether the votes are to be conducted...

Moved Francisco Cabanas Seconded ?

That motion 2011-C be amended as follows: Add "and Territory" after Province under clause (c)

The amended clause (c) would read:

First I must say I misread this post in my rush to get to work this morning. 15% for GNU / Linux, Mac OS X and smartphones combine is what was posted as opposed to15% for smartphones only. My...

The President should be allowed to vote but not when acting as the chair. If the President feels strongly enough about a matter before the assembly then the President can pass the chair to another...

I stand corrected on the "friendly amendment" matter.

Yes the correct procedure in this case is for the chair to ask if there is any objection to the amendment and accept the amendment if there...

But does your website require users to use Windows as is being proposed in the CFC meeting case? That is by the way also is the problem with the net applications data.

It is the only way that one...

Windows had over 90% market share in the early 2000's not now. I own a website totally unrelated to IT and in 2003 over 93% of the visitors were using Microsoft Windows. Now 7 years later 77% of the...

It is most certainly not free if the of site have to pay to license a particular operating system in order access the conference. Then pay some one else to install it on their computer.

Of course this is acceptable. My understanding is that when an amendment is friendly, as is the case here, the motion as amended is voted on instead of the original motion. There is no vote on the...

I will start form a quote from the GoToMeeting - support center. since I understand from the report that they are the front runner.

So until the meeting access technology is truly operating...

22A (7) already deals with the question of openness as the minutes as published online There is little to be gained in openness and accountability here and a lot to loose.

I am glad to see that the errors in 2010-18 are recognized.

The motion 2010-18 was presented to the assembly and ruled out of order by the chair on the advice of legal counsel. Surely this is an...

Here is what we are discussing:

Motion 2011- E - No Proxy for Governors’ On-line Meetings

Moved: Bob Armstrong; Seconded: Fred McKim

- That Rules and Regulations, s. 21, Proxies, be...

For the record I fully support the ruling of the chair on this issue and I would also support the chair should the chair reverse the ruling on the 50% quorum issue. The one thing I do ask is that...

Actually Bylaw 3(a) does not require a 50 % quorum for constitutional amendments in the online meeting and treats the online meeting as an AGM already. I asked the chair to rule on the discrepancy...

Will the technology be operating system neutral? In particular will it work with GNU / Linux (Ubuntu, Fedora etc.), Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows (XP or later)?

How do you propose to handle...

How is a player resident in the territories, Yukon, NWT and Nunavut, supposed to qualify for these tournaments?

I would like to suggest we add:

(g) The highest rating of each age category...

I am opposed to this motion as worded but I would be in favour of elimination the family membership, so I would support an amendment to eliminate the family membership and leave the junior membership...

How about 9 days starting on Saturday and ending on Sunday?

I am unclear as to why this is constitutional amendment since its purpose is to make a regulation consistent with a bylaw. By the way I am in favour.

Very true but if 2011-D fails for lack of "quorum" then we are in a catch-22 situation.

There are some very significant discrepancies between the bylaw 3(a) as it is published in the CFC Handbook on chess.ca and how it is quoted in this motion. The other issue is that the PROCEDURES FOR...

My amendment as duly seconded on the floor is not a constitutional amendment as far as I can see, since after Egidijus's change this was made perfectly clear. The chair may of course rule otherwise....
