Commissioner Darcman

Advised that league fees would be $70/owner this season, TBD next season, partially based on the above point

Advised of 2019 Draft Order as per the new system voted in at the 2018 AOM

Proposed that we change the available number of years of draft picks from 2 to 3 years (during the AOM, it was labelled as 3 to 4 years, but the site does not count the current year as a future year, so essentially it’s still the same thing, just wanted to clarify):

Non-Voters: Fred, Sabu

Abstain: Mark

Motion Passes

 

Started the discussion about the ability of Commissioners to have full access to the WW including being able to see bids prior to the bidding period ending and being able to go in and fix any issues that can happen, and reminded that in the past this power was valuable as issues have appeared in the past, owners voted as follows:

Keep as is: Rob, Garts, Brian, Chad, Rhonda, Mini

Change to leaving it to the site: Fred

Non-Voters: Sabu, Ryan

Abstain: Mark, Cam

Commissioners will continue to have access

I will be looking into this further and will discuss my findings with the Co-Commissioner and reporting at the next AOM as to the feasibility to removing this power

 

2019 AOM Closed
