  • Maxxam Contract: The procedure is on schedule. FTA cards are now being returned to the office for testing. There was discussion regarding ways to simplify the instructions for drawing blood to make it easier for members.
  • Software Improvements: Alan and Jan are working on the improvements and making headway but it is very time consuming. They hope to have the new software in place before January 1, 2003.
  • There was discussion of the cross-bred registry the requirements for animals to be moved from the cross-bred to the full registered status. While no decision was made the directors felt that moving the requirement from 7/8 to 15/16 llama to qualify for full registered status might be advisable at this time rather than to deny entry of cross-bred progeny into the Registry forever. There was some discussion of closing the Registry. Art Kennel suggested discussion of both issues that involved pros and cons so the BOD could have further discussion. Jan suggested we might consider asking for member input before making a decision.
  • The name for the new enhanced DNA parent verified certificate was discussed but no decision was reached.

Motion: Sally Rucker adjourn meeting. Second: Karen Baum. 5 Ayes. Meeting adjourned at 3:18 PM, EST.

Respectfully submitted,
Sally Taylor
Secretary
