OK - this is good information - thanks to Linda for taking the time to research for all of us. Nancy -----Original Message----- From: showgsd-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:showgsd-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Linda Bankhead Sent: Monday, August 04, 2014 2:44 PM To: Showlist Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Latest from AKC 2:24 PM (18 minutes ago) Dear Linda, The verbiage I provided you below is what was submitted by the GSDCA and approved by the AKC Board to ballot the membership. It is up to the club if they chose to ballot to have each section voted on independently or to vote on all as one package. Should you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact me directly. Sincerely, Mari-Beth O'Neill AVP Sport Services 8051 Arco Corporate Drive,Raleigh, NC 27617 T:919-816-3789/fax:919-816-3770/e:mbo@xxxxxxx Visit our website: www.akc.org Follow us on: Facebook and Twitter *From:* Linda Bankhead [mailto:lindabankhead44@xxxxxxxxx] *Sent:* Monday, August 04, 2014 1:22 PM *To:* Mari-Beth O'Neill *Subject:* Re: German Shepherd Dog Standard Hello Ms. O'Neill Can you please let me know if The GSDCA has submitted another version with corrections? ( I have the AKC approved May 2014 that you sent me). The new standard has 4 sections/changes? Will the AKC allow the membership to vote on each individually or will the changes be lumped as one decision? We have been receiving conflicting answers from Board Members and the membership at large. I felt it was best to ask The AKC directly. Thank you for your help. The ballots are being mailed on August 20th and the membership has not been provided any details. I would like to understand what I am voting for and the process.
