This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fred,
I do not understand what is going on with this committee, but I have heard from other folks it was disbanded without notice. I am sorry to see all your and others hard work be deemed less than worthy. It looks to me like all of you did quite a bit in three weeks time. I have seen corporate committees take an enormous amount of time working through issues that would eventually become the backbone of the organization. I would imagine this particular project you and others were working on would be of the same importance to the NFHR in regard to breeding ethics. This is definitely going to be a timely process and there will be many times people will get "testy". This is to be expected. What is really worrisome is that is sounds like, from Amy's comments earlier, this committee is now only going to encompass just a few select members, presumably to get the project done in a more timely fashion. With just a couple of members this is obviously going to be the outcome...but will it be the RIGHT outcome? I would much rather see a highly diverse committee take 3 years to complete a project of such magnitude versus seeing a small and united group taking 3 months to complete the same project. Nine times out of ten, the later will be biased and more self serving. I hate to say that, but it is a fact of human nature! Diversity is not something any of the NFHR BOD members should run from, but instead, it should be embraced! This is what makes a good corporation turn into a great one. Again, Fred, Carol, and the rest of you that served on this committee, I am sorry to see your efforts go to nil. I also very much appreciate the work you accomplished in such a short time. Lynda <<I'm soooo very sorry that the work that a whole bunch of us did on the Suggested Code of Ethics didn't measure up to what YOU were looking for. I am publishing the last suggested draft RIGHT HERE IN PUBLIC. Let the readers and members of the NFHR decide if this was wasted effort and work.>>
