If someone is a member of the GSDCA they have a vote like everyone else. It will certainly be interesting to see if the membership of the GSDCA votes, and how they vote. I respect the membership, the board who suggested a vote, and if they allow it, the AKC who will ok the change. Non members will not be allowed to vote, or at least their votes will not count. What an interesting situation, and what an interesting discussion. Evan L.
