The CFC Regular Chess Post – June 11/12 – OCA AGM ( On-line ).

The first ever OCA AGM On-line commenced Saturday, May 26. Ontario – SWOCL was the first to try this format for the AGM. Now CFC has decided that the 2012 CFC AGM will also be on-line. The meeting is now into its 17th day. Going on-line has boosted attendance at OCA AGM’s to a record number – 100% of Outgoing OCA Governors have attended! And 100% of Incoming Governors have attended the second part of the AGM. Some motions have been debated on and voted on in the Outgoing AGM, as well as there being heated debate on a couple of issues ( Regional Boundaries; formula for establishing Regional CFC Governor allocations; etc. ). At the Incoming AGM, there has been election of OCA Officers, also at least one motion coming forward, as well as debate on the 2012-3 Budget, etc. The officers are:

President: Rob Clark
4 VP’s – were elected at the 4 regional AGM’s
Secretary – Michael Zaghi
Treasurer – Brett Campbell
Youth Coordinator – Patrick McDonald

The OCA made the daring move of making the meeting open to the public, and allowing guests to post and interact with governors. This has gone very well, and is a precedent that should carefully be considered re other AGM’s. The meeting is expected to last for a few more days ( it has been longer than anticipated, and this will be looked at to determine what is appropriate for next year ).
