The Canadian Committee (CC) is comprised of six members, with at least one residing in each of the following three regions:
Additionally, no more than three members will be allowed from any one of the above regions.
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 all Canadian NASPA members participate in the electoral process. Discussion can be posted to the Canadian Committee yahoo groups site by emailing naspa-canada@yahoogroups.com. Note that you must sign up for this group before posting messages to it.
