Agenda for CFC voting members online AGM meetings July 6th-13th, 2014

[Vladimir Drkulec]

Here is what was published today at the www.chess-news.ru : ШФ Канады на своем заседании решила поддержать кандидатуру действующего президента ФИДЕ. Все больше стран Запада и Европы поддерживают нас! In English: Canadian Chess Federations during its meeting has decided to support the incumbent President FIDE. More and more Western and European countries are supporting us. Tweeted by Berik Balgabaiev.
Please confirm that this information is true. If yes, when this CFC’s meeting took place, when was it announced, who has participated and voted on this meeting.

There have been ongoing email, skype and face to face discussions between the members of the executive/directors on this issue. There were consultations with the governors which resulted in a non-binding straw poll vote with the following results:

Total of 24 votes cast by the governors:
Endorse GK 7 votes
Vote for but do not endorse GK 1 vote
Abstain 4 votes
Endorse KI 8 votes
Vote for but do not endorse KI 4 votes.

Executive Report: Vice-President

Dear Chess Federation of Canada Executives, Governors, and Chess Members:

Thank you all for giving me the chance to sit on the Chess Federation of Canada (CFC) executive board!

I have to say the number one reason why CFC is so successful this year is due to hard work of our executive board members (President Vlad Drkulec, Secretary Lyle Craver, Treasurer Fred, FIDE rep. Hal Bond, and Youth Coordinator Frank Lee), as well as all of our provincial governors in taking their time and effort in going on to the discussion board to give their opinion and suggestions.

Moreover, I want to say thank you to all of our valuable chess members (both annual and life members) for continuing to support our national chess federation. It would be great to increase our members for the next couple of years, and strongly encouraged our chess members to get their friends to be part of our chess family. We, as a non-profit organization, will continue to promote the game we all enjoyed to the rest of Canada. And, will continue to serve our members the best we can (you may provide your opinion and suggestion to your provincial governors always!). Our ears are open to new ideas and suggestions!

I want to say thank you to the executive board members for keeping me in the loop of discussion about our national chess. I will strongly encourage Vlad Drkulec to continue as our CFC president as he has done an amazing job!

Good Chess To All!

Thank you, Simon, for your report!

Here is one suggestion from the Annual Meeting of Greater Toronto Chess League:
"In discussion of the parents’ concerns, GTCL decided to recommend CFC to elect a Youth Committee at the AGM, and recommend Xuekun Xing, Connie Zhou, and Jane Zhong to be included in the Committee."

Could you please convince CFC Executive Board to include election of the CFC Youth Committee in the AGM Agenda?

Dear Mr. Ong, please explain your statement: "CFC is so successful this year". What makes you to believe so? It is very important issue. If majority of people do believe so, we'll have a hard time to get anywhere. One more question to you. Here is your yet another statement: "And, will continue to serve our members the best we can (you may provide your opinion and suggestion to your provincial governors always!). Our ears are open to new ideas and suggestions!" What exactly are you offering your members? Where you'll get the money to accomplish anything?
