Could you please repeat yourself? We the members need to know who voted for and against. It will affect our vote for the next board. And it would be nice to know who did not vote at all and why, and what they would have done if they had voted. We need to be sure that there is some sort of control over who can join. Yes, we need to be just a little elite. Otherwise we are just a group of people who all have GSD's. Membership needs to be for those who have the interst of the breed in mind and will be specifically making an effort to pursuade the public to consider a breeder who actually knows the dogs, the bloodlines and raises pups for sale with families in mind, not profit. sheila Laurie Pruett <pruett@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >We > >won't know who voted which way until the minutes get out, except Lew,of > >course,who as President,can't vote.

This information is important enough to the membership that is should be available in the Board O Gram. The minutes don't come out until months after a meeting. I gotta think that not reporting votes in the BOG is a protective strategy of the board as controversy has usually calmed way down by the time individual votes are reported to the membership. In this day and age of instant communication there is no excuse for having to wait months to see who voted how... JMO...
