ABSOLUTELY YES!!    That has long been one of the problems with this 'white 
issue'.    We are wasting 
so much time for the Board and all of us on something that is already decided 
and 'set'  since the '60s'    
Give it to the AKC and WALK AWAY!!    
Let's get on with our Breed and begin to take care of failing Clubs, new 
owners, issues that concern those who 
are actively showing and supporting the Club and the Breed Standard  like  
Amateur Futurities, National sites,
Breeders being called 'puppy mills' by the public,  etc.... now see Stormy's  
post on a Calif. spay neuter ordinance.
These are the real issues we need to be involved in...i.e....SUPPORTING our 
BREED and our BREED STANDARD!  
 
Great post Nancy as always.    Thank you!!

The German Shepherd Dog is the #2 popular breed in the US and has been for 
considerable time.  Where do so many 
of these German Shepherds come from?   Are we, as a National Club,  looking for 
ways to “reach out” to these owners 
and breeders, are we looking for ways to ‘engage’ these owners/breeders?   
Should promotion and reaching out be one of our priorities?

Used to be that ALL billing not approved ahead for Committees  has to be 
approved by the Board by
vote.    Like Gary....I know where I would put my betting money....but IF the 
Board DID pay all of Carmen's 
expenses we know THIS BOARD HAD TO APPROVE PAYING THAT EXPENSE!
IF in truth that is the case.....WHY  "we"  had to pay for that,  I do not 
know... nor understand........?
I can't even figure out why or who would request that Carmen fly in to help 
with any Board decisions
on this issue....let alone get the Board to approve the cost for this issue??
ALSO...I cannot figure out WHY... ANY one person CAN INFLUENCE BOARD MEMBERS?   
Shouldn't the Mission Statement and the membership be the influence........?

I too was on the  call and chaos started when that question was asked, and yes 
it went to closed session and nothing further was released on the matter....no 
hearsay at all.'       Molly

 IMO Carmen was really flown in to stop the request for BBS to approach AKC.  
We would all like to know WHO paid for his hotel and airfare.  
Once this was asked; the discussion was moved to a closed session.  
 (I was on the conference call; this is not hearsay).

This is a very recent occurance.  Bob Grady would have more on this.
