Sounds remarkably like the board does not need to even read the petitions
unless they are in favor of what the board wants.
Wouldn't it be nice if at least the people running for our club positions could
be honest and open about what they intend to do.

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Changing the standard
To answer Kathy S:
Yes it was sent to the AKC. No it is not on the ballot this year
Nobody changed the rules. The rules are listed below:
FROM THE P AND P:Â
The GSDCA Bylaws provide the means to petition the Board to change
either the Bylaws or the Breed Standard. (See Bylaws, Article VIII,
Section I.)Â In addition, petitions may be submitted for additions to
the slate of judges for the
* National Futurity/Maturity Shows (see Method of Election of Judges
in the Roster and National Specialty Show Procedural Manual); or
* The National Futurity/Maturity Shows (see Futurity Show
Directions); or
* The Board of Directors (see Article V Section 4b of the Bylaws).Â
Due to the fact that the Board of Directors is elected by the
membership to conduct all the business of the Club, the Board may
either accept or reject petitions by the membership that do not
address changes or additions to the Bylaws or Breed Standard.Â
However, once a petition is accepted and submitted to the membership
for vote, the Board is bound by the outcome of that vote.Â
Petitions to change either the Bylaws or the Breed Standard
These must be signed by a minimum of 10% of the membership, or 300
members, whichever is the lesser.
Standard:Â
The parent member specialty club shall own its standard and the
American Kennel Club shall have full use of the approved standard.
From the AKC Guidelines:

Breed Standard Revision Procedures
A revision consists of any change, deletion, interpretation, or
clarification to a standard. Once the Board of Directors has approved a
standard there is a five year
moratorium on revisions.
Parent Club
A. Breed Standard Committee is formed to review and formulate
revisions.
B. Notify staff of the American Kennel Club that the club is in the
process of reviewing the standard.
C. Submit revisions to AKC staff for input while being developed.
Staff will present final revisions to The Board of Directors for their comment.
At this time
the proposed revisions will be published on the Secretaryâs page of the AKC
Gazette, allowing 60 days for comment.
D. Following publication, comments received and response to such
comments from the club will be presented to the AKC Board for approval to
ballot the
membership.
E. The membership will be balloted in accordance with Clubâs Constitution and
By-Laws.
The sample letter and ballot will be submitted to staff for review
prior to balloting the membership and must inform the membership of the five
year
moratorium.
F. Submit results of balloting, copy of the ballot, cover letter, and
standard to the AKC. If the proposed revisions do not receive the sufficient
numbers of votes
to be approved notify AKC Staff with the tabulated results.
G. Ballot results that support a revision to the standard will be scheduled for
inclusion on the
agenda of the AKC Board for approval. The approved standard will be published
on the AKC website.
