Plenary Proposals

Apr 25

Posted by president in General, Internal, NCRC, Uncategorized | No Comments

Here is a good place to discuss pre conference plenary proposals. CKGI has a seconder to amend previous irrelevant motions from the past AGM’s. Many motions are out of context, some no longer are relevant and others are right on but need updating.

Motions specific to NCRC
Putting on a conference requires the coordinator to follow the passed motions pertaining to NCRC. It would be nice if the out of context motions were filed into – “might need them later”; and the ones that need updating, were.

Please have a look at NCRAANREC_Resolutions2009 and see if anything you moved needs recycling or reusing or updating.

BIRT CKGI will rescind previous motions at NCRC Plenary. This is due to lack of funding to implement the resolutions.

We should price out the cost of implementing the resolution prior to striking it.

1. name change = $3000

2. Static – $8000 start up; $6000 per year operations

3. outreach to community radio – staff time

Member’s Report

Radio News
Member’s report for October 2009

Rogers application
Rogers’ application is still active for 98.5 FM. If they are approved Rogers will provide us with an engineering brief so we will eventually get on the dial. The situation is that there are no other protected channels that will work from a Gabriola transmitter site. This means if Rogers wins their application for 98.5FM, we are left with a low power FM channel or AM. A low power channel will give us basically the same coverage as our 60 watt application however it is not protected so a US channel or another Canadian broadcaster can come along and bump us off our frequency.
