    I hereby move to remove Vlad Drkulec from office, pursuant to the provisions of the NFP Act:

    Removal of directors

    130 (1) The members of a corporation may by ordinary resolution at a special meeting remove any director or directors from office.

    The facts speak for themselves and form a part of the public record as set out in this special meeting of the Voting Members.

    So long as this motion is on the floor, I feel it is appropriate for Egis Zeromskis to act as Chair of this meeting. The President should recuse himself.
    Is there a seconder to this motion?
    You are out of order.

    Egis pointed out this thread to me in a phone call.

    Thank you for the prompt reply, Vlad.

    While you do have the power to do this as administrator of the board, you do not have the right to do this in the context of this meeting as you are not presiding at this meeting. Your role here is that of a voting member only and by the evidence a very partisan voting member.

    What is done is done. There is no need to undo it.

    I note that suddenly it is possible to approve people for posting privileges very quickly.

    I always approve people very quickly during meetings as I am checking multiple times per day... do you have a problem with that?

    May I suggest a proactive practice for the future (fire prevention instead of fire fighting)? Shortly after every AGM, when the list of incoming VMs is known, an email be sent to every VM not yet registered on chesscanada.info encouraging them to do so asap. Include an explanation that if they don't they may not be able to participate or vote in quarterly or special meetings (nor complain about not be able to do so).

    Excellent suggestion. We may also have to implement a policy where anyone not registered by a certain date cannot vote.

    I know this will seem corny, but my goodness, I so appreciate the last two posts above, where Egis posts a great Canadian chess story, and Vlad thanks him.

    I hope we can get this "worst CFC meeting ever" over and done with, and REBUILD.
