Abstract
President's Message Message du PrésidentThe Canada Not--for--profit Corporations Act provides not--for--profit corporations with a new set of rules that are described by Industry Canada as "modern, flexible and better suited to the needs of today's not--for--profit sector."For the most part our practices were consistent with these new rules.However, as a not--for--profit corporation operating in Canada, we were required to come into compliance with the act by updating our Letters and Patent (replacing the original from 1977) and by--laws (replacing those passed in 2001).We also chose to take advantage of this opportunity to change the name of the corporation from "THE CANADIAN ACOUSTICAL ASSOCIATION -L'ASSOCIATION CANADIENNCE DE L'ACOUSTIQUE" to "CANADIAN ACOUSTICAL ASSOCIATION -ASSOCIATION CANADIENNE D'ACOUSTIQUE".This change brings the English and French names into better alignment and corrects a grammatical blunder with the French name.To help with the process the board agreed to recruit the help of a not--for--profit law firm, Blumberg Segal LLP.The matter was first discussed with the membership at the Annual General Meeting in Winnipeg (October, 2014).A special meeting of members was subsequently held at 105 Bond Street, Toronto, on the 2nd day of December 2014, to consider and vote on a Special Resolution authorizing the Corporation to file Articles of Continuance under the Act and to adopt the new By-law.Advanced notice of this meeting was provided to members via email and all associated documents were posted on the association website by October 29, 2014.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
