Jim Alloway states UScA does not feel the need for a parliamentarian. Frank Phillips - UScA made 2 motion suggestions 1) Follow LV/DVG America’s process of issuing score books. Clubs can issue score books to their members. Adding the variance of the requirement to provide an FCI recognized pedigree registration. 2) Eliminate the requirement of an AWDF score book for the AWDF Championship and accept any FCI recognized score book.
