Then corporate rules (by-laws) ALSO take precedence over Roberts' Rules...every organization has different rules. Is this issue addresssed in the by-laws of the GSDCA? Usually, if members of an organization disapprove of the Boards actions, the by-laws will have provided some way for the members and perhaps not the other Directors, to remove the Board or any member of said Board..........in short, the Board members are responsible to the membership. Peggy ***************************************************************************** The GDCA is a corporation and its members are like the shareholders and should be treated that way. If you are a shareholder in a Corporation and it is a public traded company there are no secrets kept from you. If a suit is filed I do think the law of the land would rule and would not care what AKC has to say. A suit filed will be heard in a court of law by a judge or jury and I can assure you they will not care what AKC has to say.
