Sally - Apparently, the meeting was illegal in that proper procedures for holding an Executive Session were not followed...therefore, no business that was conducted can stand. That means, as I understand the language, that Hunte is NOT a member. All that remains is for him to be told. As for new by-laws, etc., the AKC will have to approve properly written by-laws, if they are really needed. I doubt they are. What is needed is a Code of Ethics, or Members Code of Conduct, to which all members must adhere. Any new applicant would have to agree to abide by such a Code, and current members would have to agree to adhere to the Code when it was time to renew membership. The AKC would not be able to say no to such a thing if it was similar to those being studied by the respective committees, or individuals, and which are currently in place in many other breed parent clubs and regional clubs. I have to smile when I think about the regional club that refused membership to someone who particiipated in performance activities with a White GSD...and how awful that club must feel now, when the PC has Hunte as a member! (Except in fact, he is NOT...see above!) Peggy sally@xxxxxxxxxxx wrote: >Do you really think AKC is going to approve new by laws that would eliminate >our new member? I don't.
