I agree that a list for members for discussing GSDCA business is a great idea, but I think there needs to be information and pictures available to non-members on the web site. For the sake of the breed, the GSDCA should provide information on health and structure to the general public. I think pictures and show results should also be available - after all, the type of dogs that are being put up by knowledgable judges shouldn't be a secret! I'm not saying that some sections shouldn't be members only, just that the decisions on what those sections are should consider the need to provide information about our breed to the public.

Some of us were just discussing the same thing a couple of days ago. You are right -- there is too much discussion of club business on this list. I've heard that members of other lists consider this one to be the PC list. I think a separate list for full PC members only is an excellent idea. Ther are several logistical issues to be addressed, but those can be handled if we can get the new board to go along.

I guess the one thing that bothers me most is that there is not discussion of it. Could it be that most of the members on this list are not PC members and would lose out? Food for thought. To many perks to non members, take away their perks and maybe they will pay the price (membership dues) to get that information like the rest of do.
