General Guidelines
---- Nous avons besoin d'un traduction français!
Some Basics
1. Under Board "Frequently Asked Questions" (FAQs) there are 3 sections dealing with General Forum Usage, User Profile Features, and Reading and Posting Messages. These deal with everything from Avatars to Your Notifications. Most general technical questions are covered there. Here is a link to the FAQs. https://forum.chesstalk.com/help
2. Consider using the SEARCH button if you are looking for information. You may find your question has already been answered in a previous thread.
3. If you've looked for an answer to a question, and not found one, then you should consider asking your question in a new thread. For example, there have already been questions and discussion regarding: how to do chess diagrams (FENs); crosstables that line up properly; and the numerous little “glitches” that every new site will have.
4. Read pinned or sticky threads, like this one, if they look important. This applies especially to newcomers.
5. Read the thread you're posting in before you post. There are a variety of ways to look at a thread. These are covered under “Display Modes”.
6. Thread titles: please provide some details in your thread title. This is useful for a number of reasons. It helps ChessTalk members to quickly skim the threads. It prevents duplication of threads. And so on.
7. Unnecessary thread proliferation (e.g., deliberately creating a new thread that duplicates existing discussion) is discouraged. Look to see if a thread on your topic may have already been started and, if so, consider adding your contribution to the pre-existing thread. However, starting new threads to explore side-issues that are not relevant to the original subject is strongly encouraged. A single thread on the Canadian Open, with hundreds of posts on multiple sub-topics, is no better than a dozen threads on the Open covering only a few topics. Use your good judgment when starting a new thread.
8. If and/or when sub-forums are created, please make sure to create threads in the proper place.
Debate
9. Give an opinion and back it up with a reason. Throwaway comments such as "Game X pwnz because my friend and I think so!" could be considered pointless at best, and inflammatory at worst.
10. Try to give your own opinions, not simply those copied and pasted from reviews or opinions of your friends.
Unacceptable behavior and warnings
11. In registering here at ChessTalk please note that the same or similar rules apply here as applied at the previous Boardhost message board. In particular, the following content is not permitted to appear in any messages:
* Racism
* Hatred
* Harassment
* Adult content
* Obscene material
* Nudity or pornography
* Material that infringes intellectual property or other proprietary rights of any party
* Material the posting of which is tortious or violates a contractual or fiduciary obligation you or we owe to another party
* Piracy, hacking, viruses, worms, or warez
* Spam
* Any illegal content
* unapproved Commercial banner advertisements or revenue-generating links
* Any link to or any images from a site containing any material outlined in these restrictions
* Any material deemed offensive or inappropriate by the Board staff
12. Users are welcome to challenge other points of view and opinions, but should do so respectfully. Personal attacks on others will not be tolerated. Posts and threads with unacceptable content can be closed or deleted altogether. Furthermore, a range of sanctions are possible - from a simple warning to a temporary or even a permanent banning from ChessTalk.
Helping to Moderate
13. 'Report' links (an exclamation mark inside a triangle) can be found in many places throughout the board. These links allow users to alert the board staff to anything which is offensive, objectionable or illegal. Please consider using this feature if the need arises.
Advice for free
14. You should exercise the same caution with Private Messages as you would with any public posting.
You're just making me more likely to put in a FOI request to CRA to access the entire file to get the total picture. As an interested member of the public. I don't think you really want to do that, when I get onto something I don't stop until all avenues are totally exhausted.
You are more than welcome to do that (FOI). Please report back your results.
Where in all that you have quoted is a satisfactory explanation given by the CFC? Nowhere in my humble opinion. The link from the CRA is a statement by the CRA not the CFC, chesstalk is not a CFC official forum. The CRA link does not give a reason. The line from Bob G is not an explanation as to why.
The Fin.Report by the ExDir. was prepared for Governors. They new about the CRA matters. I don't think that a director had more information to add.
You are more than welcome to do that (FOI). Please report back your results.
You should read more GL. 2010/11 year.
Really? In your opinion the CFC does not need to report its finances to other stakeholders such as CFC members? It only has to report to the Governors. I guess you and I have totally different concepts of fiduciary responsibilities and the financial reporting requirements of a non-profit organization to any interested parties. Are you including the Governors who never vote and never comment on any issues in this knowledge circle? First you tell me it wasn't ignored in the financials, now you tell me it was.
You might just want to stretch your imagination a little and consider that others outside the circle of Governors and Exec might have a legitimate right to complete financial statements. With that kind of viewpoint I am starting to think the CFC's days as a non-profit are also numbered. Your attitude also suggests to me that there may be a climate of lack of concern about keeping CFC members informed. Exactly why a FOI request may prove interesting. What else have the exec told the governor's that CFC members have not been informed of because according to yo only the Governors need to know?

All CFC governor meetings are open and online now so you just have to look at the relevant meeting to see for yourself what the governors know. The governors letters are what reported the results of all meetings prior to this new policy of open meetings. They are posted for all to see on the CFC website. Having full access to online meetings seems to me to be preferable as it will allow CFC members and interested third parties access to everything that goes on at online meetings during and after the meeting.
The charitable status was reported in Newsletters.
If you so concerned about the charitable status, you may help to obtain it back. Are you willing to help?
Did you read those reports? Did you read what I wrote? :p
It did not die in 2005-06 period, and it will never die :p
The last time I volunteered to help with anything CFC related I had to practically do a song and dance to convince Bob G that I was serious and then he never got back to me. In my opinion he called for a volunteer but didn't expect anyone to actually come forward as he wasn't actually serious about a WYCC audit. Just putting up a PR smoke screen. Just as you are to explain why the loss of charitable status was ignored in the financial statements. No one at the CFC including the governor's seems to be interested in regaining the status. So why the sudden interest whether I am willing to help out. Is there a serious effort underway that could use some help?
So this time you'll have to convince me that you are serious. Then I'll consider whether I'm interested in helping out. First I will need to ensure myself that I know exactly the reasons in the first place as to why it was lost. I'm not convinced yet.
I'm sure the CFC won't die but I am concerned that it will lose its non-profit status just as it did its charitable status.

So you expect anyone who wants a complete financial report to not only look at the financials but also to read a years worth of governors letters? You consider anything said by anyone at an online meeting to be an officIal pronouncement of the CFC?

You may a historian or you may be a history maker :D Now you are more like an archeologist who missed an expedition. Can you read between hieroglyphs in CRA and CFC papers?

Yup I got good marks in reading hieroglyphs or as we like to call it in accounting school, advanced auditing. Or as my OW clients used to call it 'things that affect my eligibility that my caseworker better not find out'. Although what secrets the CFC felt they needed to write in hieros is intriguing me right now. Cue the Indiana Jones music...

In principle the coach should be somehow a registered person (a business), isn't?
---Disclaimer - my questions are just get better understanding of a coach's legal life. I don't coach. Maybe in far future :D
Egidijus,
In some circumstances, it is not necessary for a self-employed person to register as a business. It is necessary to register as a business in many circumstances, inlcuding for the purpose of collecting and remitting HST/GST, and for the purpose of employing people, amongst other reasons.
