Here are just a few answers gather from responses here on the list- whether the people who responded have official info I don't know Should the Parent Club fund the entire action. (Who else would do it?). The PC will fund the whole action - hopefully with lots of corporate support Should the Parent Club even do it? We don't have any choice this has already been decided Should it be at the same time as the National? It is the week before the national - (so if you want to see all you had better start working 2 jobs now to pay for 2 wks on the road in motels etc) What role will the WDA have, and how much control? None that I can figure out - hopefully will volunteer to help Who is going to be responsible for the costs? The PC Who is going to get any profits? Who knows Will there be profits? Don't know Who is going to be responsible for losses and liability? PC? What role do the foreign organizations have in the show? Don't know Will the World Show interfere with the National? If you attend both you maybe broke and exhausted by the time the national arrives What control does the GSDCA board have over the other countries? None that I know of Will other organizations have any liability to the GSDCA? Don't know Whose insurance will be responsible? Great question but since the pc puts the show on I would guess the pc's insurance Who has run the shows in the past, and what has been the results? ? What is the role of the AKC? Certainly they are better situated to do this.
