Is that you Raymond?

Interesting though, I guess anyone outside of B.C. can go ahead and use CHI without fear of backlash.

No it wasn't me but I have always questioned the merits of OAHI using it as a disciplinary measure against members in OAHI. OAHI cannot discipline anyone in OAHI for its use, because they don't have the powers under their by-laws. They tried to intimidate me by telling me they would report me to ASTTBC for use. Seems their actions were based on less than legally defendable actions. Ooooooops. Everybody Loves Raymond..

[Claude Lawrenson]

Thanks Ray - great find! Interesting indeed.

Yes considering how OAHI used the CHI misuse to intimdate members from removing it from their websites and reporting members to ASTTBC. Like I said its not in the OAHI by-laws, they cannot take action. OAHI likes to push the envelope when it comes to arbitrary decisions that under closer scrutiny the by-laws don't permit.

"ASTTBC is uncertain as to their authority in Ontario to pursue the use of this acronym."

You should be familiar with decisions that fall outside the scope of the by-laws eh? Welcome to the club. It pays to know your rights!

Great information

Thank you

NACHI should send this out to every Canadian member ASAP

Enough with CAPHI OAHI and their intimidation

Check out the wallet in the movie Pulp Fiction.

Interesting pictures and wording on it, in a google search. I just might order one.

[George A. H. Luck]

Nick, can you arrange for a mass Emailing of this info to Canadian members? It is of paramount interest to all members of the National Association of CERTIFIED Home Inspectors.

You still can't use it in BC. Its outside of BC that is questionable and apparently not defendable by ASTTBC.

YOU ARE ALL WELCOME!

Thanks for the infor Mr Raymond..... At a recent OAHI meeting they were discussing threatening someone who has CHI on their card. If only BC has it as a trademark, then Ontario can use it.... as in me!

OAHI does not have the authority under its by-laws to take action. It cannot defend it actions to do so. Its attitude and actions leave it open for legal action. The by-laws are very limited and narrow in scope as to what OAHI can do or not do. If they wish to make new rules then they should do it the proper way. That is to put a motion to change the by-laws and a vote to the membership at the AGM or call a special meeting to enact the change. Personally its a Witch-hunt to sasiate someones power tripping ego and to hinder freedom of association with a competing association.

Besides its clear ASTTBC realizes outside of BC they are powerless. That leaves OAHI out on a limb thats about to break.

They reported me to ASTTBC, and I never did hear from ASTTBC. Oh well it pays to know your rights. Too bad more members don't excercise them. I have never seen such a down trodden bunch.

Didn't want anyone to think I am a liar. Abuse of power, abuse of non existant by-laws, due process.

Govern youself accordingly OAHI.
