Report about the general assembly 2011
|
|
On Sunday July 17th, 2011, our annual general assembly took place
the second time in the
Hotel Reinisch in Schwechat near Vienna. This year the general assembly
commenced after a KKÖ member day and a short presentation of the results of the
annual FIFe general assembly.
There were so many members present that the assembly room was
nearly fully used.
Due to such an high interest after the shift from a Saturday to a Sunday the KKÖ
board will consider this with further general assemblies. The relative warm
summer afternoon was easy to bear in the comfortable climatisized assembly
room.
After the welcome of the members and the statement of the quorum, the approval
of the agenda of the current assembly and the minutes of the general assembly
2010 passed and afterwards the board gave its reports.
In the last show year KKÖ held three double shows. The shows in Schwechat and
Bregenz showed a high visitor interest as well as a high cat inscription
rate. For the third show in Mils were less cats announced, but an excellent
amount of visitors balanced this fact.
In the area of the pedigrees, KKÖ reached 2010 the same amount of issued
pedigrees like in the last years. Most pedigrees (appr. 45%) were again issued
for Maine Coon, the second place was reached by the Norwegian forest cats (appr.
20%), followed by the British with appr. 10%.
The amount of members were stable in 2010.
The treasurer Mr. Fister reported about a slightly negative result of the year
2010, which was mainly caused due to reacquisition after the theft of a laptop
at our show in Wiener Neudorf end of 2009.
The president, Mr. Preiss, appreciated his gratitude to all which helped during
the shows, the members of the board and to
all which are not in a official function.

The auditors Mrs. Ioana Negulescu and Mr. Michael Szaraz examined the
books. The auditors recommend to discharge the treasurer Mr. Robert Fister from the
period January 1st, 2010 until December 31st 2010.
The treasury was well conducted as well as the resp. documents were
presented in a structured and easy understandable way. There were no reasons
for annotations or comments.

Afterwards the discharge of
responsibility of the treasurer for the respective period took
place.

As in the last year there were no members for the show commissions proposed.
The board will compile a team depending on the show location.

The executive board presented following proposals regarding
our breeding rules.
- Introduction of a new additional alternative to
obtain breed permission
If a male or female cat was bred by an KKÖ breeder and possess a KKÖ
pedigree, it is not necessary any longer that this cat must obtain a
'excellent' qualification during a show, before the cat is used for breeding.
This proposal was intensive discussed, pro and cons analyzed and it passed
finally.
- Introduction of a mandatory DNA test for breeding
with Norwegian forestcats GSD IV (Glycogenosis type IV) and Burmese cats GM
II (Gangliosidosis type II)
Latest 1st, January 2011, all litter announcements of the mentioned breeds
must be accompanied with the tests for both breeding partners or negative
test results of all parents of the breeding partners.
The breeding with carriers is only allowed after a positive answered request
to the breeding committee and special requirements have to be fulfilled.
All adaptation are described in our
breeding rules (German).
This proposal was carried unanimously.
- Adaptation of the registration of the titels GIC/GIP
and SC/SP according to the valid FIFe-rules
As this was only an adaption to valid rules the proposal passed unanimously
and without any discussion.
- Unification of the transcription process for CFA and GCCF
pedigrees with the process for transcription of FIFe independent
associations
The split was based on outdated historical reasons and the proposal passed
unanimously.
- Adaptation about the sending procedure for pedigrees
and valorization of various fees described in the breeding rules
The payment for pedigrees and other documents reg. breeding are changed
from 'payment at receiving of documents' to 'payment at request of
documents'. The fee for transcription of non-FIFe pedigrees was
decoupled from the fees for other pedigrees, all additional fees for late
sending of documents were dropped and several fees were valorisized.
Also this proposal was carried with all votes.
|
All updates are included in our new breeding rules (german).
|
As there were no proposals from our members, the general assembly was closed
after short two hours and the present members enjoyed the summer buffet 2011.
