NO MORE Posts on the election - be it candidate related or ballot related
ENOUGH is ENOUGH
We try not to stop topics, but this is getting worse. All sides are claiming
the same
unfairness, so everyone is being asked to discuss other topics.
We are being asked why certain post have gotten through.
Remember that for the most part, this is an unmoderated list. Occassionally,
people re set to
moderation for a limited period of time - until they show that they will abide
by list rules.
Posts appear on the list without anyone approving them or moderating them.
We have neither the time, nor the inclination to moderate posts.
Your admin have enough work to keep this list going without moderating posts.
Your admin are
volunteers, who have jobs, families and dogs to show. We are not paid, we are
not reimbursed
for our expenses. We do this for the love of the breed.

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] CANDIDATES' FORUM AND NATIONAL BLOG
A month or so ago, as it has done many times in the past, Showgsd-l began
a Candidates' Forum project, to assist those GSDCA members who will be
voting in the upcoming GSDCA election to know something substantive about
the people running for GSDCA office. This is a tradition that is almost as
old as the List, since our primary objective is, and always has been, to
support the Fancy and to promote communication. We have always taken
pains to assure that the Candidates' Forum is done in a fair and
non-partisan way, and it has always been handled by a committee of
volunteers. We received very positive feedback from Club members, with
requests that we do it again this year.
This year's election is especially unusual given the large number of
people on the ballot, emphasizing the importance of providing voters with
a substantive basis for decision-making among candidates. The committee
of volunteers handling the project this year is Peggy Mickelson, Pat
Galambos and Ileana Nogueras. We thank them for all their hard work,
past, present and future, in making this happen. Acting completely
independently of the List Management, the committee prepared a Candidates'
Questionnaire, to be made available to all who are on the 2005 GSDCA
ballot. Once they have received the candidates' responses, they intend to
collate the responses in a tabular format, so that it will be
straightforward for readers to see the responses by each candidate to each
question, and then provided to Showgsd-l for posting on its web site,
which is exactly how this has always been done in the past. In order to
facilitate putting the responses into a table, they have placed a word
limit on the answers, since large numbers of candidates and long responses
would make a table impossible to construct.
In response to requests that the material not be made public, and that it
be available to all GSDCA members, the plan is to post it in a
password-protected area, and to provide the password only to GSDCA
members.
The Showgsd-l Administration has also offered the GSDCA Board the
prerogative to also post a link to that material from the Members' Only
secured area of the GSDCA site, which could remain there until the
balloting deadline has passed. The effect of this would be that GSDCA
members could go to the GSDCA Members' Only area, enter their passwords,
and then access the questions and answers there. The intention of this
offer is to facilitate access for all GSDCA members, whether they are
familiar with the Showgsd-l site or not.
The Showgsd-l Administration is pleased to continue the tradition of
serving as a resource for the North American Fancy and furthering its
primary objective of promotion of communication among the fancy ad the
Parent Clubs (GSDCA and GSDCC).
In furtherance of these same objectives, Showgsd-l is also pleased to
again provide the Evan Ginsburg's National Commentary via the National
Blog.
