 | Welcome and congratulations to winners of 2007/2008 |
| Brief recap Breed Council Secretary meeting with CFA
Board
 | CFA pre-paid registration stats – need to encourage
participation |
| CFA Breed Council eligibility – committee to work
on reviewing requirements chaired by Caroline Scott |
| Attracting new breeders – “kinder and gentler”
approach |
| Coordination of BAP and Rescue with Breed Councils |
| Sharing info among BC’s with import policies, use
of genetic testing – committee to address various options. Egyptian Mau put
forth as a model. Genetic testing now affordable and accessible |
|
| Import policy
| Update guidelines – handed out revisions as
proposes by Constance Carroll. Asked for feedback. Will be submitting
revisions, which are just a clean up with no change in intent, to Breeds and
Standards for ballot this year |
| Discussed large number of recent applications and
issues that have come up. Asked for input on recent grandfathered applicant
with mottled pink and black pawpads. |
|
| EMRO
| Discussed the fact that they pulled their ad from
Cat Fancy and have been cooperative in that respect. However, many cats
listed are clearly not Egyptian Maus and are promoted as “crosses” |

DQ fro any other than black? |
