Dear ICCC Members,

Due to the constraints imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, this year we shall be having ICCC’s AGM virtually, hence the meeting will be very different from past meetings and will have time constraints.

The AGM will be held on Saturday, September 26, using the Zoom video-conferencing service. The Meeting ID is [874 9775 7016] and the Password is [463496]. Members can access the meeting using the following link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87497757016?pwd=alpCZFdVeEVwZk9kV3VTY3BXLzQzZz09

R.S.V.P. Please reply to this email to confirm that you will attend. All participants must be pre-registered for the Zoom Meeting.

If you are unable to attend the AGM, kindly furnish your proxy for voting online: [https://icccottawa.org/agm-2020-proxy-form/.]

Note re Proxy: The AGM 2018 adopted a resolution that i) a member may only collect a maximum of two proxies from other members [this limitation is waived in case of a family]; ii) the members’ proxies will not count to determine the quorum for the meeting, and iii) your proxy will only count towards voting for the resolutions.

In addition to the Notice of the AGM and Agenda (see below), we are sending out some standard reports (Minutes of 2019 AGM – Click here, 2019 Financial Statement – Click here) with this email. Everyone should review them in advance, so that we can utilize the time at the AGM more efficiently.

Sincerely,

Chandra Vaidyanathan and Virbala Acharya
