World Conference Steering
Panel
At the recent World Conference held in Australia it was agreed
that a Steering Panel be formed to provide a central point for PMD communication
and to provide Breed Clubs around the World with an information exchange
mechanism. The panel would then be in a position to recommend items for the next
World Conference Agenda.
It is important to understand that this panel is a "steering
panel" and the wish of the Conference is that the Panel should establish a
democratic way of working. Initially we require as many countries as
possible to have input to this steering group and we would appeal for two
individuals from each country, selected and approved by their Breed Clubs's to
act as members/correspondents between the panel and clubs in their
country.
One of the first duties of the panel will be to organise a
deomcratic vote to establish where the next World Conference will be held after
receiving "Bids/Tenders" from the Clubs or Countries that are willing to hold
such an event and then to support that organisation to the next
Conference. At that event we would perceive that formal elections are in
place for an effective committee to be elected and perpetuated with an agreed
election procedure for the future.
As most of this inital work is being set up over the internet,
potential members should have access to the net, language should not be a
problem as we understand translator programs are available and these will be
used where possible.
The Steering Panel has set up a webpage, the address is
please visit us as this will be our window to the World and
details can be found of the current steering panel delegates.
