According to the P & P Manual... Closed Sessions Of The Board: Matters dealing with personalities; special awards such as being placed on the Roll Of Honor; President's Citation Award; Honored Guests at the National; dedications; as well as Charges of Misconduct; and other sensitive matters shall be discussed in a closed door session of the Board. ( nothing listed about the "white issue".... ) ( the President or any other member of the Board can call for a closed session at any time of the Board meeting.....but it should fall under these reasons or guidelines listed above .... right?? ) Carolyn marhaven@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx www.marhaven.com On Behalf Of Molly Snider (Redacted sender "bokenkampgsd1@xxxxxxx" for DMARC) Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] board mtg, white issue Am very disappointed in the president of the GSDCA for shutting down the rights of the membership to openness in continuing the discussion of white GSD's this morning. The matter was taken into closed session. While I understand a contentious issue came up just prior to the closed session, it still could have had resolution without the concern of legal counsel and litigation. I am hoping the board publish the final results of this matter. Closed session can prevent that. Further rumours and distrust are created when one hides behind closed doors.
