A

to
be
inundated
with
inquiries.
Director
Hamilton
helped
field
the
calls
(125-130
at

The
Public

-
Several
Memo
issues
were
discussed
–
receiving
checks
from
the
Editor,
publishing
of
phone
numbers,

has
already

of
committee

heads.
It
is
also
to
be
distributed
to
the
Editor
and
Webmaster.
A
new
Director
list
is
also
to
be
distributed.
Vice
Pres.
Granger
advised
that
maybe
some
thought
should
be
given
to
having
these
listings
maintained
by
a
non-rotating
person,
like
the
Business
Manager.
A
discussion
ensued
on
changes
to
the
website,
how
often,
show
information,
breeders,
etc.
The
website
needs
to
say
that
changes
are
being
made
every
so
often,
and
who
to
contact
for
which
kinds
of
changes/updates.
A
form
in
Memo
for
Change
of
Address
was
discussed;
Bus.
Mgr.

handle.
-
The
report
was
accepted.
Memo
Report
A
discussion
was
held
on
finding
and
writing
articles,
use
of
photos,
digital
photos
vs.
photographs,
Memo
ads
for
convention,
etc.
It
was
mentioned
that
the
quality
of
Memo’s
appearance
is
better
than
it
has
ever
been.
Publication
timing,
and
communications
with
the
Board
and
committee
chairs
continue
to
be
worked
on.
The
Board
needs
to
provide
better
direction,
and
relevant
issues
should
be
made
a
part
of
the
Editor’s
contract.
Pres.
Montgomery
reminded
the
directors
of
their
requirement
to
contribute
at
least
twice
a
year
to
Memo.
The
report
was
accepted.
Webmaster
Report
Pres.
Montgomery
advised
the
Board
that
the
webmaster
is
getting
changes
at
the
rate
of
between
one
to
five
per
day.
The
job
is
becoming
too
time
consuming
for
a
volunteer.
The
current
webmaster,
Michael
Tilton,
has
resigned
the
position.
Pres.
Montgomery
has
asked
him
if
he
would
reconsider
if
the
job
was
a
paid
position.
The
Board
then
discussed
whether
or
not
we
needed
to
advertise
the
position
if
it
is
a
paid
one,
and
should
a
contract
with
the
webmaster
so
reflect.
It
was
decided
yes
to
both
questions.
Motion
2002-12
Passed
Proposed
by:
Guenther/Hamilton
The
Webmaster
position
be
a

Bishop,
Bond,
Carpenter,
Clark,
Granger,
Guenther,
Hamilton,
Henwood,
Hoyt,
Kerous,
Mertens,
Shea-Hepner,
Starbuck
and
Williams.
No:
None.
Absent:

A
committee
was
appointed
by
Pres.

to
develop
the
job
specifications
and
bid
sheet.
Bids
will
be
due
November
1,
2002;
selection
will
be
finalized
at
the
January
2003
Board
meeting.
A
discussion
was
held
on
how
NPGA
should
compensate
the
webmaster
through
January
2003.
There
was
unanimous
approval
to
give
Michael
Tilton
$250
to
be
acting
webmaster
if
he’ll
accept.
The
report
was
accepted.
Certification
Committee
Report

The
report
was
accepted.
Nominations
Committee

Public

Show
Committee
Report
Director
Guenther
led
a
discussion
on
Permanent
Grand
Champions
at
the
National
Show
having
their
certificates
in
possession
in
order
to
show
in
the
National
Champion
Challenge.
The
discussion
moved
into
when
PGCH
status
officially
occurs.
Does
it
occur
upon
achieving
the
last
win
(3
for
does,
4
for
bucks),
or
21
days
later
when
the
certificates
are
issued?
If
the
status
occurs
when
the
certificate
is
issued,
then
the
goat
may
be
shown
until
the
certificate
is
issued
–
could
have
5,
6,
or
7
wins.
A
show
rule
may
be
needed
to
require
proof
of
PGCH
status
to
show
in
the
Nationals;
however,
none
was
proposed.
It
was
agreed
that
PGCH
status
occurs
upon
achieving
the
last
win
(assuming
all
other
requirements
have
been
met).
PGCH
certificates
will
be
sent
immediately
upon
receiving
the
last
win.
The
Show
Committee
Chair’s
job
description
will
be
changed
to
so
reflect.
Regarding
ribbons,
this
year’s
wether
ribbons
were
shorter,
but
were
supposed
to
be
the
same
length
as
the
others.
Dori
advised
that
the
ribbon
supplier
made
the
mistake,
and
that
Jewel
is
looking
for
a
new
supplier.
Director
Bishop
suggested
a
poll
in
Memo
on
color
choices.
Best
Wether
awards
(bronze,
silver,
gold
and
platinums)
have
not
yet
been
decided;
a
question
arose
on
whether
or
not
the
Board
should
revisit
the
issue
of
a
maximum
number
of
wins
before
retirement.
No
resolution
on
that
issue.
Dori
will
check
on
the
Best
Wether
awards
and
pass
on
to
the
Executive
Committee.
Regarding
the
National
Champion
trophies,
the
Board
was
advised
that
both
the
rotating
and
permanent
trophies
have
been
handled
for
this
year.
A
discussion
arose
regarding
restricted
shows;
specifically,
can
local
fairs
make
more
rules
than
the
minimums
imposed
by
NPGA?
Should
NPGA
even
be
involved
in
things
like
this?
An
informal
poll
of
the
directors
was
to
leave
NPGA’s
rules
alone.
Show
Chair
Floch
was
looking
for
some
guidance
on
this
matter;
Pres.
Montgomery
will
talk
to
her.
Motion
2002-13
Passed
Proposed
by:
Starbuck/Mertens
The
Show
Committee
Chair’s
stipend
be
increased
to
$600
yearly,
to
be
paid
July
1st
of
each
year.
Yes:
Bishop,
Bond,
Carpenter,
Clark,
Granger,
Guenther,
Hamilton,
Henwood,
Hoyt,
Kerous,
Mertens,
Shea-Hepner,
Starbuck
and
Williams.
No:
None.
Absent:
Greenberg.
A
discussion
was
held
on
trophies.
Director
Bishop
had
a
sample
rotating
trophy;
our
current
ones
are
full.
Director
Starbuck
volunteered
to
make
a
box
for
transporting
rotating
trophies.
Directors
Henwood
and
Starbuck
said
they
liked
the
old
trophies
style
and
appearance.
Director
Guenther
displayed
the
current
buck
rotating
trophy.
An
informal
poll
of
the
directors
was
in
favor
of
doing
away
with
the
rotating
trophies.
Those
currently
out
there
will
be
sent
to
the
Central
Office.
There
was
also
a
discussion
on
whether
or
not
to
have
a
minimum
number
of
judges
present
at
the
National
Champion
Challenge.
An
informal
poll
of
directors
was
not
in
favor
of
any
such
rule.
Motion
2002-14
Passed
Proposed
by:
Hoyt/Kerous
Paragraph
I.1.a
&
b
of
the
Show
Rules
be
amended
(to
eliminate
rotating
trophies)
as
follows:
First,
at
the
end
of
I.1.a,
change
the
next
to
last
sentence
to
read,
“…to
qualify
as
a
win
for
the
National
Champion
Challenge.”
Second,
strike
the
last
sentence
of
paragraph
I.1.a.
Last,
in
paragraph
I.1.b,
change
to
read,
“…will
receive
a
trophy…”
Yes:

Granger,
Guenther,
Hamilton,
Henwood,

Kerous,
Mertens,
Shea-Hepner,
Starbuck
and

Youth
Committee
Report
Director
Guenther
advised
that
the
second
place
winner
in
the
coloring
contest
was
slated
to
appear
on
this
year’s
Membership
Roster
cover.
There
was
unanimous
agreement
that
the
roster
covers
need
to
stay
as
they
have
always
been.
They
are
easier
to
recognize,
and
not
likely
to
be
mistaken
for
regular
issues
of
Memo.
There
was
a
question
raised
on
who
selected
the
contest
winners.
It
was
agreed
that
the
scholarship
amount
should
stay
at
$250
for
another
year.
A
single,
standardized
version
of
the
application
needs
to
be
used.
Pres.
Montgomery
will
ask
Chair
Nancy
Simpson
if
her
request
for
a
$25
increase
for
expenses
is
for
this
year,
or
for
the
2003
budget
year.
If
they
are
for
this
year,
and
she
is
over
budget,
she
can
apply
for
reimbursement.
An
increase
for
2003
can
be
requested
in
the
January
budget
request.
The
report
was
accepted.
Health,
Education
and
Research
Committee
Report
The
report
was
accepted.
Publications
Committee
Report
Regarding
the
Region
5
vacancy
on
the
committee,
Director
Barbara
Williams
volunteered.
The
report
was
accepted.
Affiliated
Clubs
Committee
Report
No
report
submitted
in
time
for
distribution.
USDA
Scrapie
Program
Pres.
Montgomery
advised
that
all
that
was
needed
to
transport
our
goats
interstate
was
either
a
premise
ID,
tattoo
or
microchip
for
identification.
Reapportionment
of
the
Regions
Director
Starbuck
reported
on
the
plan
to
more
evenly
distribute
the
membership
among
the
eight
regions.
He
advised
that
the
total
membership
divided
by
the
eight
regions
would
ideally
result
in
232
members
per
region.
A
discussion
occurred
on
which
regions
had
more
than
232,
and
which
had
less,
and
how
his
reapportionment
plan
would
reduce
the
over
and
under
numbers.
Director
Starbuck
was
to
produce
a
chart
with
proposed
changes
later
in
the
meeting.
Residency
Requirement
for
Director
The
Board,
at
its
January
2002
meeting,
attempted
to
change
the
Rules
and
Regulations
to
eliminate
the
6
month
residency
requirement
to
run
for
the
Board.
Because
the
Bylaws
also
contained
the
residency
requirement,
and
such
residency
requirement
was
still
intact,
no
change
was
made.
There
was
a
discussion
on
how
and
when
the
residency
requirement
was
first
put
into
the
Bylaws.
A
sub-issue
was
also
discussed,
that
being
how
the
Bylaws
can
be
amended
by
either
the
members
or
the
Board
of
Directors.
There
was
general
agreement
that
the
Board
needed
to
maintain
the
current
position
of
informing
the
membership
prior
to
adopting,
amending
or
repealing
any
Bylaws
section.
The
Board
is
soliciting
comments
and
suggestions
from
the
membership
on
both
of
these
issues:
-
Should
the
residency
requirement
in
Section
4.1
of
the
Bylaws
be
removed?
-
Should
Article
VI
of
the
Bylaws
be
rewritten
to
more
clearly
spell
out
how
the
Bylaws
may
be
amended
by
both
the
members
and
by
the
Board?
Reapportionment
of
the
Regions
(cont’d)
Director
Starbuck
presented
the
following
proposal
involving
the
region
change
of
4
states:
Utah:
From
Region
1
to
Region
2
Arizona:
From
Region
7
to
Region
3
Pennsylvania:
From
Region
4
to
Region
5
Indiana:
From
Region
4
to
Region
6
He
advised
the
Board
that
the
deviation
from
the
average
of
232
would
be
reduced
by
these
changes,
and
represented
that
he
knew
of
no
affected
members
that
would
object
to
the
changes.

HER
Committee
to
Put
Herd
Testing
Results
on
Website
This
agenda
item
sought
to
put
testing
results
from
herds
that
choose
to
test
on
the
Breeders
List
on
the
Website.
There
was
no
appetite
to
pursue
this
agenda
item.
Proof
of
Offspring
A
scenario
was
described
at
a
recently
held
show
in
which
a
progeny
sticker
on
a
particular
goat’s
registration
papers
was
said
to
be
the
only
acceptable
evidence
of
offspring
for
a
buck
to
compete
for
his
fourth
win.
The
Board
discussed
other
acceptable
evidence
of
offspring
–
presence
at
the
show
of
other
registration
papers
listing
offspring
of
the
goat
in
question,
portable
computers
with
internet
capability
to
check
NPGA’s
online
herdbook,
etc.
The
Board
decided
that
Show
Rule
H3
was
sufficient;
no
new
rules
were
needed.
Business
Manager
Lowell
is
to
write
a
Memo
article
regarding
progeny
stickers
and
evidence
of
offspring.

The
meeting
was
called
to
order
at
9:10

by
President
Bobbie
Montgomery.
All
directors
were
present
except
Susan
Greenberg.

Judges
Training
Committee
Report
Chair
Yates
advised
the
Board
that
he
would
like
to
initiate
an
annual
one
day
training
session
for
existing
judges.
It
would
be
mandatory
for
judges
to
attend
once
every
three
years;
they
would
be
proctored
by
a
JTC
member
in
his/her
area
of
the
country.
He
proposes
to
reimburse
the
JTC
member’s
expenses;
the
judges
would
attend
at
their
own
expense.
The
goats
would
be
drawn
from
local
farms/ranches.
The
rationale
for
this
proposal
is
that
the
Judges
Training
Seminars
at
conventions
concentrate
on
judge
candidates,
their
training
and
testing.
This
proposal
drew
a
variety
of
comments
from
the
Board:
-
Won’t
work
in
certain
areas
of
the
country;
not
enough
farms
and
goats.
-
“If
it
ain’t
broke,
don’t
fix
it.”
Some
JTS’s
have
been
great,
others
were
terrible
disasters.
Build
on
the
good
ones,
rather
than
build
a
new
program.
-
At
the
January
2003
Board
meeting,
proposed
expenses
should
be
submitted
for
consideration
for
the
budget.
-
Mandatory
meetings
used
to
be
held
on
Sunday
PM
before
the
JTS
where
education
and
updates
to
rules
were
provided.
Judges
participated
in
the
JTS,
rather
than
sit
in
the
stands
and
observe.
-
What
we
hear
from
our
members
is
that
we
have
untrained
judges
with
consistency
problems.
Training
is
needed.
-
Chair
Yates
was
selected
because
of
new
ideas
he
would
bring
to
the
JTC.
Any
money
spent
would
be
well
worth
it.
He
should
be
supported
with
his
new
ideas.
Chair
Yates
advised
that
at
the
JTS
this
year,
the
JTC
members
would
pick
the
classes.
Mostly,
judges
in
attendance
just
watch
anyway.
He
has
jobs
for
the
judges,
including
acting
as
advisors
at
the
different
stations.
Director
Starbuck
advised
that
the
Breed
Standard
has
language
in
it
about
markings
being
seriously
faulted.
He
said
that
the
Standard
might
be
re-visited
to
remove
the
word
“serious.”
Some
judges
disqualify.
The
faulting
sheet
needs
to
follow
the
Standard;
the
faulting
sheet
can’t
just
be
changed.
Chair
Yates
advised
that
markings
would
be
a
part
of
this
year’s
JTS.
He
also
said
that
markings
must
be
taken
in
context
of
the
whole
animal.
Director
Clark
brought
up
an
agendized
item,
described
as
an
ethics
issue
on
the
exhibitor:
an
exhibitor
should
not
be
able
to
show
an
animal
at
an
open,
sanctioned
show
bearing
the
herd
name
of
the
judge.
Wethers
and
4-H
shows
should
be
excluded.
This
proposal
follows
the
rules
for
the
Nationals
under
Show
Rules
I.1.a.
A
discussion
followed
both
pro
and
con.
Motion
2002-19
Passed
Proposed
by:
Carpenter/Clark
The
following
be
added
to
show
rules
B.3.b:
Exhibitors
shall
not
show
any
doe
or
buck
in
an
NPGA-sanctioned
show
with
the
herdname(s)
of
the
judge
who
is
judging
that
show.
This
does
not
apply
to
wethers
or
unregistered
classes
or
non-sanctioned
4-H/Youth
shows.
Effective
January
1,
2003.
Yes:
Carpenter,
Clark,
Granger,
Guenther,
Hamilton,
Henwood,
Hoyt,
Mertens,
Shea-Hepner
and
Williams.
No:
Kerous
and
Starbuck.
Abstain:
Bishop
and
Bond.
Absent:
Greenberg.
Director
Starbuck
brought
up
the
issue
of
a
dress
code
for
judges.
Chair
Yates
thinks
judges
should
dress
according
to
the
area
where
the
show
is,
but
look
professional.
He
thinks
that
sandals,
shorts,
blue
jeans
and
non-collared
T-shirts
should
not
be
allowed.
Director
Hoyt
said
that
he
believed
that
the
Board
should
not
be
put
into
a
position,
nor
can
they
be,
to
regulate
the
particular
dress
code
issues.
The
Board
should
hold
the
JTC
chair
responsible
for
making
sure
that
our
judge
corps
dresses
professionally
and
appropriately.
The
report
was
accepted.
Judge’s
Code
of
Ethics
Director
Bishop
advised
that
there
had
been
a
change
to
the
Judge’s
Code
of
Ethics
regarding
the
showing
or
holding
of
goats
which
was
not
disseminated
to
all
judges.
It
was
agreed
that
updates
to
manuals
should
be
disseminated
to
all.
Breed
Standard
Committee
Report
Chair
Starbuck
requested
that
paragraph
three
of
his
report
be
deleted.
This
paragraph
had
to
do
with
recommended
changes
to
the
faulting
sheet.
The
report
was
accepted
as
modified.
Sexual
Harassment
Training

Hoyt

Henwood,
Kerous
and
Williams
have
all
completed
this
program
either
at
an
NPGA
function
or

some
other
place.
All

of
this
meeting,
are
