Two organizers stepped forward with proposals to organize GM norm events under the sponsorship agreement with FIDE. Both events will take place in the summer of 2015. The successful bids were by Larry Bevand and the CMA for a Montreal or nearby area bid for a tournament in August and by Hal Bond and the Kitchener Chessfest which has set a date spanning late July and early August. Some details remain to be worked out.
The directors voted to accept the CMA bid unanimously with some of the details still to be worked out. The Kitchener Chessfest bid passed by a vote of 5 - 1 with one abstention (Hal Bond).
