New Draft CUPA By-Law– Call for Public Discussion and Comments Dear Members, CUPA's present by-laws preceded the incorporation of CUPA on December 2, 2003. Since then, the organization has continued to evolve to respond to the needs of Ultimate players across Canada. In an effort to ensure that its by-laws suitably enable CUPA to achieve its responsibilities to its members, it is proposed that a new general by-law be adopted at the Annual General Meeting ("AGM") to be held in conjunction with the 2006 Canadian Ultimate Championships in Halifax. A draft of the proposed new by-law is available for your review. Your comments or suggestions can either be posted
for public discussion on the Forum
Link or provided privately to the Executive Director at If you share a concern for the future of CUPA and its responsibilities to its members and our sport, please take the time to review the proposed draft by-law and provide your feedback. The basic philosophy of the proposed draft by-law is a board of a minimum of 14 and a maximum of 20 directors (as determined from time to time by the board) who in turn appoint officers who will constitute an executive committee. There is provision as well for the appointment of ex officio directors who could participate but not vote as directors. The board would then attend to more broad policy and "structural" issues, e.g. finances, and supervising operations generally while the officers comprising the Executive Committee would be more active operationally and on a day-to-day basis. The proposed new by-law provides for more positions and more structured participation. Once there has been a fair opportunity for discussion of the draft by-law (and any subsequent versions), and once general consensus as to its suitability may be achieved, the By-Law would be submitted to this year's AGM for adoption. Thank you for your interest and any comments or suggestions that you may wish to provide. The CUPA Board of Directors
