Let us know in advance, and let us all have a chance to comment on them That is fine and I have asked Bill if he could put the proposed changes on the web site behind the wall. HOWEVER, just for the record, these are the changes that are going out to be voted on. You can vote them up or down. If you vote them down, the old membership application will still be in effect and we will have to start over and get AKC approval again. The election company has the information on the by-laws and will be to the printing stage before any changes could possibly be made. That said - you might want to consider voting approval so at least the changes are started (Code of Ethics, 2 sponsors, etc). Then if it appears something is not right - when this new Board decides to tackle the by-laws, they can work on it.
