To the List: I really do not have the time lately to post to the List but when there are misstated facts I feel I must respond. After voting to offer Susan the Review Editor position there was a motion which was presented to remove the P&P Statement about showing. Here is what Page 87 of the GSDCA Policy & Procedure manuals says: "Editor may not judge, steward, exhibit or handle while Editor." OK read it again, what does it say? Doesn't even say dogs. Doesn't say steward at dog shows. You get my point. Yes, this initial motion was defeated because the entire statement needs to be redone and not because Susan was named Editor, it needs to be redone for ALL Independent Contractors. So, I named an AdHoc Committee of Lee Brown, Tom Mesdag, Paul Root, Kris Fasano and Bill Pfeiffer to prepare an acceptable passage to be placed in the P&P Manual. This report will be given to the Board for approval at the October Meeting. I am not going to debate on this List, you can call me and we can talk but I just felt the record needed to be set straight about what really happened. In fact I am sure you can contact any Board member, they will answer your questions too. Now go back and read Tom's post, then do what he suggests, some real good advice he has given ALL of US........
