Report about the General Assembly 2003
|
On Saturday 9th of August 2003, our annual general assembly took place in the
cassette hall of the castle Schallaburg near the monastery of Melk. The members came also this year again
numerously, despite the summer temperatures.
After the welcome of the members and the statement of the quorum Mrs Monika
Peikert was elected as protocol writer unanimously, as scrutinizers Mrs. Kerstin
Mares and
Mr. Alfred Peikert were confirmed unanimously.
The approval of minutes of the
general assembly 2002 passed and afterwards the board gave its reports.
In the
area of exhibitions a successful exhibition year 2002
could be reported. In Category I the number of exhibited cats remained the same,
the number of cats exhibited in category II slightly decreased, wheras the
number of cats in category III increased significantly and in category IV an
increasement could be noticed. Statistic data were presented in a professional presentation,
whereby that it has to be mentioned that the number of KKÖ-exhibitors had raised
once more.
Also the development in the area of the pedigrees was very
pleasing, whereby this positive trend will also continue in 2003.After the elections, after a short presentation the adaptations of the by-laws were unanimously
accepted. With those adjustments, the members will have the possibilities to
form their own clubs as part of the KKÖ.

After the elections the breeding rules decided by the FIFe this year, which have been already part
of our breeding rules for several years, were specified more detailed. The
executive board was unanimously authorized to implement FIFe's breeding rules
without extra voting in a GA into our breeding rules as long as they do not
interfere with our general principles, thus a voting in the GA is necessary. |

The new corporate Homepage of the KKÖ was presented by Mrs. Preiss, and the
members were informed, that they will have the possibility now to insert their
own breeder's advertisement, including a picture. The majority of the members
expressed their great satisfaction about the new design and layout of KKÖ's Web
site with great applause.
