Are we afraid of the "knowledge" non-members might offer? What is the benefit of forming a discussion to exclude? The list could certainly never initiate a vote, as not all members have access to the computer. Why create yet ANOTHER list... and ask the PC to sponser it to boot? Who would monitor it? Who would be responsible for discussions raised? Is the board going to be accountable for every subject that comes up every day on the list? Are rumors going to spread rampid when something is brought up that isnt addressed? I think there should be designated times and locations that official GSDCA business should be conducted. The Board meeting for example. Anything else to me is just asking for Chaos. Our Local clubs should be a way to filter information back to the membership. Do we have Board designees from each "area"? Has that ever been considered. Then that Board member has "x" amount of clubs it represents?

As far as show results, since we don't limit entry/exhibition at these shows only to GSDCA members, that should remain available to the public.
