I take this to read that the terms and conditions for withdrawing his membership still needs to be worked out. Meaning, how will he rescind his membership application.....if this is unprecedented, there may not be a process in place for requesting it, so it still needs to be worked out. Though for fun we could try and come up with some T&C's that he might ask for.... ....maybe he wants us name our permanent National site after him....I can see it now..... The Andrew Hunte Arena - Permanent Home of the GSDCA National located in Near The Incinerator, MO.

In Lew's message dated 4/35/2007 he states: "I am pleased to announce that Mr. Hunte has agreed to withdraw his application for membership in the GSDCA. The Board is working very hard to finalize the terms and conditions under which his application will be withdrawn" Since when does an applicant for membership in the GSDCA dictate or suggest terms and/or conditions and even more importantly, since when does the GSDCA even consider terms and/or conditions on an applicant? If we start applying terms and/or conditions then we really are setting a precedent. I sincerely hope this is not the case and Mr. Hunte is simply a member or not or Mr. Hunte decides to just withdraw his application.
