So who gets to vote
when creating an organization "from scratch"...
How about this: Since Founding Members (does anyone think "Charter Member" is better? Please comment under "Membership" below) are required to contribute a significant sum, then only Founding Members (who have already chipped in the $500, or who pledge to do so when they sign an attendance sheet next week(UPDATE: Better yet, bring your cheque to the meeting itself! Save on postage!)) will retain voting privileges at the Constitutional Conference, and at the election of Executive members, and at the Business Meeting that will immediately follow. As always, comments welcome.
It is understood that ALL CPEG members in 2006 are expected to become Founding Members with the $500 contribution, as per the unanimous resolution at the February 2006 meeting in Edmonton. Not just the ones who can attend in Toronto next week. All the more reason that those who cannot attend should have their voices heard on this weblog.
