The two issues that we just recently voted on was to leave the Performance Victor/Victrix and the Alan Sandell Elite awards in their original form. They board had changed for the past two years. The membership voted. It is back the way it was since those awards were established. We were not voting on a standard change regarding the whites. The proposed change has been sent to AKC and if approved will then be put up to a vote of the membership for an up or down vote. Hope this explains.
