If you were guessing (this is a trick question because I know the answer),
how many GSDCA members - or what percent of the members - do NOT have an
email address - or at least one they have shared with the GSDCA?
I will tell you that there are fewer than 10 members that have opted out
of
the Constant Contact GSDCA emails. Pam

When we consider the costs to this Club ( which IS the membership ) for
flying Board members and paying Hotel expenses to make sure the entire
Board can attend a meeting .... 'wherever'.......to do our business and make
decisions for all of us and this Breed...it DOES seem only right that the
membership
can find out EXACTLY what happened as quickly and efficiently as possible
after each meeting. Most of the issues and votes are of deep concern to
all of us also.
I do appreciate how quickly Tish gets the BOG out to us....this IS 2011
and
Communication is amazingly easy. As Ileana states....for those not
plugged into the Internet it seems crucial THAT should be a main consideration
to be on the agenda to solve...now. They pay the same dues we all do
....but to 'hold up'
communication to the rest of us with internet access for THAT reason
seems
a tad over kill .......??
Without full and correct information the Board leaves itself wide open to
inuendos and speculation after every meeting and that is never ever
healthy for any Organization.
It's like a FULL MOON after every meeting. <G>
ONLY the Board can resolve to solve this problem........and it IS time.
Closed meetings for a specific purpose is a lot different than a
deliberately UNINFORMED MEMBERSHIP.
The Candidates should have full access to the membership list for
e-mailing
their BIO's ( once ) in this day and age and the membership should have
full access to every detail of the meetings ASAP.

And just think how much easier it would all be without a gag rule forcing
members to call the directors to get a clear
picture. Members should not have to call all board members to get the
full story. It should be all out there and clearly visible.
I don't think members should try to do the work of the board but we do
have the right to know what they are doing without the board throwing up
barriers. Cspan for this club would do wonders.

Why does it have to be one way OR the other? We can make it work using
all the venues available.
I would never even remotely suggest disenfranchising anyone, hell, my
goal is to move off to a mountain, I will be depending on that pony
express guy! I just signed a petition for the Review to remain as is, so I
do get it.
Are we not missing an opportunity to reach out expeditiously to the
majority of the membership?
Maybe revamping the membership committee to have a section dealing with
electronic communication AND another section dealing with those who are
only reachable thru snail mail. Just asking.
We have to a least listen and consider moving, even if slowly, into the
21st century. Baby steps.

Not everyone is online - some cannot use computers, others opt not to
Let's say our membership is 2900 and only 2100 have computers.
We would be disenfranchising the 800 computerless members. THAT IS
WRONG.
The Club uses constant contact and the website, but we also use the
REview To communicate - as that goes to ALL members, not the
approximatedly 70% with computers, 100% of our membership.
That is probably the main reason that the AKC prohibits electronic voting.
When everyone in the world is plugged in, this will change. Until then,
pony express will continue to be the correct way to communicate.

Yeah, I know, not all the candidates read The List, but they have
plenty of friends who....lets say....share.
