| + | #REDIRECT [[Structure of Canadian Committee]] |
| − | Our proposed future structure is for the Canadian Committee (CC) to comprise six members with at least one residing in each of the following three regions:
| |
| − | * Ontario
| |
| − | * Western Canada
| |
| − | * Quebec and the Atlantic Provinces
| |
| − | Additionally, no more than three members will be allowed from any one of the above regions.
| |

| − | == Committee Member Selection Process ==
| |
| − | * Members will serve a three-year term.
| |
| − | * Two members will be elected each year. A lottery will be held in Dayton in August to determine when the terms of the current CC members will end. (Note: John Aitken and Tony Leah have each volunteered to have his term on the CC end on December 31, 2009. John and Tony may, if either one so chooses, run as a candidate in the December 2009 election.) The Dayton lottery will determine whose terms will end at the end of 2010 and 2011.
| |
| − | * These elections will take place every December for terms beginning the following January.
| |
| − | * Candidacies and nominations for prospective members will be accepted in November of each year.
| |
| − | * The first election will take place in December 2009.
| |
| − | * Canadian citizens and permanent residents who are NASPA members in good standing will be allowed to participate in the electoral process.
| |
| − | The exact mechanism of this process is to be determined, but there will most likely be an online ballot form that will be linkable from both the NASPA membership renewal page and from the Canadian Committee home page.

| − | We invite your input to determine the best possible way of making the CC a responsible and accountable body representing the interests of all Canadian Scrabble players. We ask that your comments and suggestions be made prior to July 1 this year, after which we will finalize the structure for this committee. Discussion can be posted to the Canadian Committee yahoo groups site by emailing [mailto:naspa-canada@yahoogroups.com naspa-canada@yahoogroups.com].
