Petition to Delay Vote for AKC Recognition



   On November 10, 2009, a Board Member of the USACTC, Inc. sent a letter via e-mail to the USACTC membership stating the Board's recommendation to seek AKC recognition for the Coton de Tulear.  He stated that ballots would be arriving shortly for a membership vote.
   It has come to the attention of several of the members of the USACTC that pro-AKC individuals have been solicited for USACTC membership on the day before the ballots were mailed, Nov. 11, 2009, and promised prorated membership dues.  They were encouraged to fax their application for Regular or preferably Family Membership, if possible, so they would accrue two votes for the AKC recognition proposal. Individuals who were known to foster anti-AKC beliefs were not offered this same opportunity to join the 2009 membership. Furthermore, prorating membership dues is prohibited under the Constitution and By-laws of the USACTC. We hereby demand that the balloting be postponed until ALL individuals (pro or con AKC) are offered a chance to join the USACTC for the year 2009, so that all interested parties may vote on the AKC proposal.

    USACTC members, here is your chance to really make a difference with our beloved breed the Coton de Tulear! Since the USACTC Board's recommendation to seek AKC recognition has come as a complete surprise to so many of us, and we have barely had the opportunity to ponder the consequences, we need more time to fully come to an informed decision before being asked to place our vote for such a important issue that can have such an impact on the future of the breed.  All Coton owners and breeders alike, whether pro or con AKC, should have the SAME opportunity to place their vote. It is not prudent or fair to rush such an important decision. We, the undersigned USACTC members, hereby request of the USACTC Board a postponement of the balloting process for AKC recognition, until which time all Coton de Tulear owners and breeders have been given an equal opportunity to join the membership ranks of the USACTC to participate in the voting process.
