FEDERATION INTERNATIONALE FELINE - FIFe
FIFe GA 2009 – Malmö (SE)
Additions: in bold and italics
Proposals from the Board of FIFe
Unchanged text: in normal print
Proposal 1 – Change of Statutes
Chapter VI Commissions - article 6.2
Joining the Judges & Standard- with the Breeding & Registration Commission, to be
one Commission, in analogy to what FIFe had before 01.01.2004:
the Judges & Lo Commission.
Reduce the amount of Commission members
- of the Judges & Standard Commission from 6 to NEW 5
- of the Breeding & Registration / LO Commission from 3 to NEW 2.
Article 6.2 New wording
1. The Judges and LO commission shall be is responsible for:
maintaining the Rules for Judges, Student judges and Stewards
studying the admission of new breeds and the establishment of the standards applicable to
such new breeds
modifying the standards of recognised breeds
a training programme for student judges and the further education of existing judges
maintaining the Rules for Breeding and Registration
attempting to standardise the regulations relating to records of origin in conformity with
existing standards and rules
The Commission shall consist of seven (7) members
five (5) members, who are international judges for category I, II, III, IV, or all round judges;
all categories have to be represented
two (2) members, who have kept a pedigree register in their own organisation for a period of
at least three years and have been breeding for at least three years
Note: If this proposal is carried the following articles must be amended accordingly:
article 6.2 of the Statutes (the numbering of the other Commissions)
article 6.3 of the Statutes
articles 4.6.2, 4.6.3 and 4.6.4 of the Breeding & Registration Rules
articles 2.8.6.5, 2.10, 2.11, 3.2, 5.1.3.4, 5.2.6, 5.2.13.1, 6.1, 7.3.1.3.4, 7.3.2.6,
7.3.2.10.1 of the Rules for Judges, Student Judges & Stewards
any other FIFe rule or article where the old wording is still used.
Motivation: The Board has two main reasons to bring this proposal.
In the first place, the recommendations and findings of both commissions are of paramount
importance to the FIFe Membership regarding, for example, the registration and judgement of cats.
Last year at the GA when the NEM was preliminary recognised the JS and BR Commissions had
very different views how to handle this matter. This is NOT in the interest of the FIFe Members. The
Board hopes that by combining the commissions, common recommendations will be prevalent.
Secondly, since several years both the Members of FIFe and the Board have been confronted with
individual Commission members tending their resignations long before their positions were up for
(re) election. The Board sees it as its duty to bring a proposal that attempts to increase harmony and
stability to its Commissions in particular and to FIFe in general.
