The Board of Directors of an organization is charged with conducting the general governance and administration of business for that body, not with establishing a standard, whether it be graphic or written. Whatever document goes out with the imprimateur of the Parent Club can have a dramatic influence on the Breed for generations. It may, for practical purposes, be reviewed by the Board of Directors. It should not, under any circumstances, be distributed outside of the organization without the ratification of the Membership as a whole. How can we comment on it without having seen in (except for the very few). We pay an inordinate amount of money for our "monthly" magazine. Let us use it to give our membership a chance to see what is under discussion. There's nothing wrong with change taking a long time.
