    Board Business - Year 2002


    Board Business - Year 2001

    Motion 01-02

    On November 21, 2001, Joyce Maley placed the following motion before the IFCBE Board of Directors:

  • The Federation, in an effort to assist Chinook breeders and encourage the breeding of a better purebred Chinook, provide a space on the Federation Web site to list available and upcoming U.K.C. registered Chinook stud dogs, to include basic comparative information on the individual Chinook, link to the owner/agent regardless of club affiliation, and thumb-nail side view and thumb-nail front view of the Chinook.
  • The motion was seconded on November 23, 2001, by Richalene Kelsay. A sample page was provided by Joyce Maley, and the motion was discussed. The Board requested some adjustments be made to the content of the page, then the motion was brought to a vote.
  • The vote for the motion was called for on December 15, 2001, and concluded on December 21, 2001. The motion was defeated on a vote of one (1) vote "for" and four (4) votes "against"..


    Motion 01-01

    On May 25, 2001, Joyce Maley placed the following motion before the IFCBE Board of Directors:

  • The Federation provide a $20 scholarship, to Federation Breeder/Exhibitor Members, for successful completion of the Fall session of Cornell University's "Canine Genetics" distance learning course. To receive this scholarship, attendees must sign up as part of the IFCBE group to take the Fall 2001 course, be IFCBE Breeder/Exhibitor Members during the time the course is in session, and successfully complete the course.
  • The motion was seconded by Richalene Kelsay on May 26, 2001.
  • Discussion included reviewing the details of the course, to include who is offering this course, what the course covered, the cost, the length fo the course, student accountability, grading system, the cost to the Federation, exctly who would be eligible, how the Federation would pay the funds to the member, feedback at the end of the course and comments from people taking the course. The general concensus was that the Federation could afford the program and that the course appeared to have value. However, there was concern that the course was relatively expensive and that there may not be many serious Chinooks breeders that would be willing to take the course at this time.
  • The vote for the motion was called for on June 3, 2001, and concluded on June 6, 2001. The motion carried on a vote of two (2) votes "for" and zero (0) votes "against".

    Proposal 01-02

    On April 27, 2001, Joyce Maley proposed the IFCBE add a Breeders' Link page in the Federation site.

  • For those voting members that don't already have a page, the Informtion Manager will build one for them. For breeders that already have a page, the page will link to their page and E-mail address. The following disclaimer will be on the page: "The following are IFCBE member-breeders. Feel free to contact any of them when you are looking for Chinook puppies. The IFCBE does not in any way guarantee or certify member-breeder litters, but we appreciate you supporting those breeders who are active IFCBE members." Further discussion was supportive.
  • The Board, through unanimous consent, accepted the proposal, and, after contacting breeder-members, implemented the new page at http://www.chinooks.org/breeders.htm.


    Proposal 01-01

    On April 22, 2001, Joyce Maley proposed the IFCBE invest $95 to move the Federation Web site to a Netfirms.com banner-free site, and purchase and use the domain name "chinooks.org".

  • The proposal was supported throughout the discussion. It was discussed that the site will cost $70 to set up and run for the first year, and $25 to acquire the domain name for the same period of time. It was discussed that to keep a professional looking site, it was important to maintain a banner-free site.
  • The Board, through unanimous consent, accepted the proposal and implemented it on April 27, 2001. The final cost for the first year ended up being $85, instead of the expected $95. This was because the first year of hosting was only $60 instead of the anticipated $70. The Federation is now located at http://www.chinooks.org.


    Board Business - Year 2000


    Motion 00-2

    On May 1, 2000, Joyce Maley placed the following motion before the IFCBE Board of Directors:

  • That the Federation implement an educational seminar program, and for that purpose, the Federation accept the seminar program called Chinook Diversity Training developed by Joyce Maley and Nancy Fishinger.
  • The motion was seconded and debated prior to disposition.
  • The vote for the motion was called for on May 9, 2000, and concluded on May 11, 2000. The motion carried on a vote of four (4) votes "for" and zero (0) votes "against".


    Motion 00-1

    On April 13, 2000, Joyce Maley placed the following motion before the IFCBE Board of Directors:

  • That the Federation adopt a dues structure for the Federation membership as follows:

    Breeder/Exhibitor Members:
      $50 initiation fee and $50 dues for year 1
      $40 dues for year 2
      $30 dues for year 3
      $20 for all subsequent years, as long as continuous membership is maintained
    During this Charter Membership period, if individuals want to pay for additional years, (2 through 4), they will receive a $10 discount from each year they pay for.

    During this Charter Membership period, for each subsequent individual at the same address, the $50 initiation fee is waived and the dues are 1/2 the listed amount. The $10 discount for paying multiple years up front applies on these memberships too. The number of years cannot exceed the number of years of the first membership.
    Chinook Supporter Members:
      $5 or more donation each year is appreciated.
  • The motion was seconded and debated prior to disposition.
  • The chair called for the vote on, April 20, 2000.
