Hi Gail, - The entire procedure is covered by our By-Laws. For any change it must first go to the membership. My idea would be to just have everyone run by petition. - John - I sure hope this post is not off limit. After all I am not talking about any one person. I sure hope you are not getting me in trouble. For safety sake I will also send this to Joan Fox. - John |:>) ----- Original Message ----- From: hardcastle@xxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, June 09, 2005 4:44 PM To: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: List of Judges-Board O Gram > "The only one not in alphabetical order & sent to the bottom of the > list" Helen Franklin I think someone on the Board should make a motion to not publicly list the Board nominees for Judging the National or the Nominating Committee nominees for the Board prior to publishing the entire slate. Why should those people get their name out in front of the membership any more than those who petition to judge or to be a club director? Is that practice mentioned in the By-Laws? If not it is a simple motion to change the policy. If it is we can change the ByLaws in a constructive manner. I have many ideas on how to change the nominating committee procedure also but that is off limits. I will send my suggestions to Joan Fox and let her she if there should be an addition or change to the P&P manual. My guess sitting here at work is that there is no written procedure for specific reasons. Gail Hardcastle PS...yes, Flower Boy...I work full time.
