Motion: That Article II of the CANSI By-Laws be amended to read as follows:
Professional
A Professional member of CANSI is any member residing in Canada who has successfully completed a cross country or telemark instructor certification course conducted by CANSI, attends a refresher at a minimum of every three years, and pays yearly membership dues. A Professional member has full voting rights, is entitled to liability insurance while teaching Nordic skiing and is entitled to the latest technical information via newsletters, manuals, and the website.
A Professional member is considered certified by CANSI to teach the appropriate and applicable level(s) of XC or Telemark skiing.
Associate
An Associate member of CANSI is any member residing in Canada who no longer meets the requirements of professional membership but still pays yearly membership dues. This includes members who have allowed their certification to lapse and members who have not successfully completed an instructor certification course conducted by CANSI. An Associate member has full voting rights and is entitled to the latest technical information via newsletters, manuals, and the website but is not entitled to liability insurance.
If an Associate member recertifies within a ten year period of his/her last Professional status or successfully completes an instructor certification course, he/she may resume Professional status.
An Associate member is not considered certified by CANSI to teach.
Affiliate
An Affiliate member of CANSI is any person or organization who pays membership dues. An Affiliate member has no voting rights and is not entitled to liability insurance; but is entitled to the latest technical information via newsletters, manuals, and the website.
An Affiliate member is not considered certified by CANSI to teach.
Honorary
An Honorary member of CANSI is any person or organization who has been appointed by the Board on the basis of their contribution to CANSI or to the sport of Nordic skiing in general. An Honorary member has full voting rights and is entitled to the latest technical information via newsletters, manuals, and the website, but is not covered by liability insurance. An Honorary member is not required to pay yearly dues. Unless designated so by the Board, an Honorary member is not considered certified by CANSI to teach.
Discussion
The Board recommends these changes to clarify the responsibilities CANSI has towards different categories of Members.
Motion: That the following become Article VII. 10 of the CANSI Bylaws. (The existing articles VII. 10, VII. 11 and VII 12 be re-numbered VII. 11 through VII. 13 respectively):
Past President
The member filling the position of president immediately preceding the current president shall fulfill the role of Past President. She or he shall be an ex-officio member of the Board of Directors.
Discussion:
Including the Past President in the list of active directors will provide greater continuity when changes occur and members leave pivotal positions.
Motion: The CANSI fiscal year run from May 1 to April 30 annually, changing from July 1 to June 30 as at present.
Discussion:
Since the by-laws require the National AGM to occur following the end of the fiscal year this will allow it to coincide with regional annual meetings which typically occur in the spring.
Motion: That the attached logo be approved for CANSI clothing going to Interski 2007.
Moved: Karla Wikjord
