Should the ECF accept CJs resignation? - Poll
I am hoping forsimple yes/ no responses, to help the ECF judge the members views.
(Or some of them. Or the views of people who pay grading fee. You know what I mean)
If you have any detailed views on the prizing giving incident, or RDK, beyond saying they informed your vote, please post them to separate threads.
Ideally read this one first: CJ Banned? most views have already been discussed.

I voted no. I am uncomfortable with RDK being involved, but think CJs energy and profile make him a great president

Fair enough, no problems with that. Just happy that we have a poll.

Re: Should the ECF accept CJs resignation? - Poll
I've voted (saying no), but will the results be delivered to the ECF? If not, it seems a bit pointless (not to mention that the number voting also makes it a bit pointless). Also, I agree with those who say that the real test of CJ's presidency would be through an election. I'm half-considering attending the ECF AGM this year. Can any member attend to observe?

To observe? I do not know. You won't have any voting rights unless you're representing an organization that has voting rights.Christopher Kreuzer wrote:I've voted (saying no), but will the results be delivered to the ECF?

Re: Should the ECF accept CJs resignation? - Poll
Yeah, I know. Just to observe. I hear it will be in London, so not out of my way. I guess I'm hoping that paying to be a Direct Member has some bearing, though if all Direct Members turned up it would be a bit much.IM Jack Rudd wrote:To observe? I do not know.

Re: Should the ECF accept CJs resignation? - Poll
No, you can't. Only "Full Members" can attend. Just to make life difficult, that's not as in the membership class "Full member". Basically, a delegate of anyone who is listed on the voting register is entitled to attend, and that's about it. The only exceptions to this rule tend to be the Minutes Secretary (which for my sins has been me in the last two meetings...), and the Office staff. The Office staff usually disappear after the adjournment for tea, anyway.Christopher Kreuzer wrote:I've voted (saying no), but will the results be delivered to the ECF?

He's got a better chance than most. The English Deaf Chess Association are members but don't normally, as far as I'm aware, send a delegate, even to observe.Alex Holowczak wrote: No, you can't.

Seriously, if new bodies form and apply for membership, can they send delegates to the AGM?

Re: Should the ECF accept CJs resignation? - Poll
That is because the things that are said at the meeting would go straight over the head of the EDCA delegate unless he/she has good hearing. The Sheffield League accept that no one from Sheffield Deaf would attend the AGM but attendance is compulsory at the fixtures meeting and there is usually someone who would tell the SDCC captain of any new rule changes or any important noticesRoger de Coverly wrote:He's got a better chance than most.

Re: Should the ECF accept CJs resignation? - Poll
I decided to end the poll given a decision has now been taken.
I was surprised it removed the graphic, the votes were 11 to accept resignation, 38 to reject, I think

However, in this instance we have an EDCA member, Christopher Kreuzer, who says that he might wish to attend the ECF AGM.Peter Sharpe wrote:That is because the things that are said at the meeting would go straight over the head of the EDCA delegate unless he/she has good hearing.
