What of direct club voting for CSA leadership ?

[CSA Guest]

When are we going allow clubs to vote for the CSA leadership in National Annual General Meetings.

Will the CSA accept to follow the laws of Canada in voting for leadership of the corporation, or does the CSA reject government involvement according the the Blatter doctrine as practiced in Peru, where the futbol federaion is no suspended by FIFA over the demand that the Futbol Federation resign as he has been declared ineligble to sit as a Director for violating Peruvian law ?

When are we going allow clubs to vote for the CSA leadership in National Annual General Meetings.

All Members and Clubs participate in elections and soccer governance as follows:

1. Members participate in electing their Club Representatives (e.g. XYZ Soccer Club President/Directors)
2. Club Representatives participate in electing District Representatives (e.g. PHSA -- Peel Halton Soccer Association President/Directors)
3. District Representatives participate in electing Provincial Representatives (e.g. OSA -- The Ontario Soccer Association President/Directors)
4. Provincial Representatives participate in electing National Representatives (i.e. CSA -- The Canadian Soccer Association President/Directors)
5. National Representatives participate in electing International Representatives (i.e. FIFA -- Federation of International Football Associations President/Directors)

Members are able to provide input to influence decision-making at each governance level through their elected Representative(s).

The division of labour between the various levels of responsibility is more practical and efficient than 'plebescites' which involve every Member voting at every level on every issue.
For example, Ontario alone sending Club Representatives from each of the (currently) 770 OSA registered Member Clubs to a CSA AGM would be logistically impractical and inefficient.
