I am posting this publicly because I believe many may be interested in this
answer. See Article VII Section 2 of our By-Laws below for information about
formal complaints - for a broader view, you may want to read the complete
Article.
Letters of complaint which are not formal charges as prescribed in the
By-laws listed below, should be addressed to the Ethics Committee.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 2. Charges.
(a) Any member may prefer charges against any other member for alleged
misconduct prejudicial to the best interests of the Club or the breed. Written
charges, with specifications, must be filed in duplicate with the
Corresponding
Secretary, together with a deposit of fifty dollars ($50), either a certified
check or money order, which shall be forfeited if such charges are not
sustained. The Corresponding Secretary shall promptly notify the President, who
shall fix a date for a review by the Executive Committee and the Committee
shall first consider whether the actions alleged in the charges, if proven,
might
constitute conduct prejudicial to the best interests of the Club or the
breed. If the Committee considers that the charges do not allege conduct which
would be prejudicial to the best interest of the Club or of the breed, it may
refuse to entertain jurisdiction. If the Executive Committee entertains
jurisdiction of the charges, it shall notify the Corresponding Secretary, who
shall
promptly notify the Board of Directors of the charges and of the date and
place selected by the Executive Committee for a hearing by the Board of
Directors, or by a Committee of not less than three (3) members of the Board
to be
appointed by a majority of the entire Board. Such hearing shall be held not
less than three (3) weeks, nor more than three (3) months after the date the
charges were filed. If the charges are entertained, the Corresponding
Secretary
shall promptly send one ( 1 ) copy to the accused member, by certified mail,
together with a notice of the hearing and an assurance that the accused
member may personally appear in his/her own defense and bring witnesses if
he/she
wishes.
