The push for change in the CAWF was recently brought to our attention here in Ontario. We sent out the proposed changes to our OAA members to vote on and I was certainly surprised with the results which clearly prove that Ontario is on board with potential changes to the CAWF.
Ontario's vote results for the proposed changes:
Yes/No 17 Cutting Men's open Classes 4
18 Cutting Ladies Open Classes 2
17 Men's Grand Master Classes 3
14 Men's Master Classes 5
15 Ladies Master Classes 3
15 Triple Elimination 6
14 30 sec Ref Grip 7
15 Agree on Straps or ref Grip 5
13 Cutting referees to 5 on Sat 5
17 referees and staff share a room 2
11 Allowing elbow bumps 7

Will Ontario be voting according to these poll results when the motions for these changes are officially put forward?

Yes this is the way Ontario is voting. We haven't receive our ballot as of yet.

Eric I noticed that Dave Campbells post has been removed from the thread on the other Board. It makes me think that Dave and the rest of you guys were not on the same page. Is your above question, referring to how Ontario will make changes in Ontario or how Ontario will vote at the CAWF level.
I don't think we are all talking about the same thing, and on this site we can probably straighten it out without the fighting.

My question was specifically about how Ontario would be voting for the changes to Nationals. And I understand Ontario will be casting its votes according to the poll results ("yes" to all of the proposed changes). However as you have a separate vote as VP of the CAWF, I would expect you to listen to what the majority of the pullers in this country want and cast your vote accordingly. If you disagree with some of the changes, make a public case as to why you don't think they're right to make, and see how people respond (prior to the vote). If the majority are still in favour for changes after you've made your case, then I think it's your duty to represent the people and support the changes.
