Meeting called to order at 12:00 noon EDT.

The Board confirmed that the minutes of the November 26, 2000 meeting were approved November 26 by FAX and submitted to the ILR office.

Next BOD teleconference call will be 12:00 noon EST January 31, 2001.

  1. Breeder Identifier Dilema
    The Board had a discussion of an issue of reserved breeder identifier confusion by two breeders with similar names. The two registered Breeder Identifiers in question were reserved four years ago. Several animals have been registered under each Breeder Identifier. Since both applications complied with the rules for Breeder Identifiers the Board felt there was nothing we could do in this case but suggest the breeders involved in this case try to work this problem out between themselves. The Board will closely examine the rules and guidelines for reserving Breeder Identification and decide if there is any policy change that could be made to make this process more explicit.
  2. Schedule of 2001 Face-to-Face Meeting
    There will be a face-to face meeting in Salt Lake City from March 18 through March 20, 2001. Agenda items should be submitted to Jan.
  3. Registrar's Report
    The Registrar’s Report included discussion of November financial report and ARI contract.
  4. ILR Survey and Publication Discussion
    There was a brief discussion of the survey results. Full discussion and review will be undertaken at the face-to face meeting. We will re-address the issue of a publication at the face-to-face and each member of the BOD will send his or her thoughts to Jan so he can prepare proposals for us to review based on our expectations.
  5. Registrar Evaluation
    Jack has been working on refining the draft of the "Registrar’s Evaluation Form". He plans to send it to each member of the Board before next month’s meeting so we can fill it out as a "dry run" to make sure it is in workable form before we actually use it. Jack will then present the BOD the final draft.
  6. ILR Policy Book and ILR Report
    The Policy Book and ILReport will be mailed after the face-to-face meeting.
  7. Election Committee Chairman
    Sheila Fugina will serve as the committee chair for 2001 Election. She will select her committee and begin the 2001 Election process in January.

Meeting adjourned at 1:55 EST.

Respectfully submitted,
Sally Taylor, Secretary
