[Advisors] Telecommunities Canada -- are we letting it go?

[michael gurstein]

To be honest, I didn’t see the early documents or at least the necessity to sign something.. Not sure why… I may have missed it, it may have gotten caught up in a spam filter somewhere… other…

 

When I did finally see it I responded as well as I could… My suspicion is that others may be in the same situation.

 

Whether to continue with Telecommunities Canada, I would say yes—not so much for what it does, not a great deal in recent times, but simply the fact of its existence.  I for example, have used TC on several occasions as a sig item when I needed to have some sort of Canadian civil society/NGO designation for one purpose or another.

So this seems to indicate that very few people on this list read and/or signed the documents that Anthony sent around.  Was it because you were unclear on what to do here, or because you really thought we should let the NGO status go.  

I'd be interested in any feedback.

Good day Everyone 

 

A quick update, as our deadline has passed. We have physically received 3 members signatures and required 9 to for the directors to begin transitioning TC to the NFP Act.  The deadline to transition to NFP is October 17, which means we need our paper work in by the end of September.

 

Here is where we currently stand:

*	Chair of meeting: C. Leader
*	Secretary of meeting: M. MOLL
*	Resolution mover: A. Niiganii
*	Resolution Seconder: G. Graham
*	 

We have 18% in favour (based on submissions), which seems to indicate over 82% of the members are not in support of the transition (due to lack of submissions). Motions cannot carry without 50% plus 1 in favour.

 

At this point, it appears without the required signatures, TC Directors will not be able to move forward with the transition paperwork, and will need to begin looking at the process to dissolve the corporation.

 

Should members wish to support the transition, please submitted your signed resolutions by no later than September 26.  I will send out an email to indicate the final decision of the members.

 

Quick note to Members and Directors, I can email the forms directly to you, if you had not been able to access them in the original postings.

 

Thank you to those who submitted their signed forms.

 

Kindest regards,

Anthony

Hi Everyone, 

 

As you may be aware, organizations registered federally have been ask to transition to the Not-for-Profit Corporations Act.

 

As part of this process TC is required to conduct two meetings, the first begin the meeting of the memberships.

 

With the deadline to transition coming up next week, I have attach the documents for everyone's review, feedback and acceptance.  Once you have review the information, and if you have no questions, please digitally add your signature to the documents or scan a copy with your signature and email to aniiganii at mb.e-association. 

 

The deadline to have everyone's signatures is Friday September 12, 2014.  If we do not receive the required support (50% plus 1) TC may risk losing it's registration.

 

I will need a mover and seconder for each of the motions and resolutions, and those willing to do so may indicate in their email.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you for your attention on this matter, and I look forward to receiving your signed forms.

 

Best regards,

Anthony
