Motion carried (9-0) – Approved: Busquets, Byrne, Creelman, Gann, Gerken, Larson, McCabe, Sims, Wesen. Disapproved: None. Abstained: None. Non-voting: None.
Motion by Busquets to add the below section, Section 8.17, to the Policy Book to require a programming quote and benefit/cost analysis before the Board approves any new titles or program changes. Second by Larson.
Current Wording: None.

The voting results for this motion are below.
BD.22.145 Office Manager Cost Determination of New Titles or Changes to Existing Titles
Motion carried (9-0) – Approved: Busquets, Byrne, Creelman, Gann, Gerken, Larson, McCabe, Sims, Wesen. Disapproved: None. Abstained: None. Non-voting: None.
Motion by Busquets to add Section 9.1.1 to the Policy Book, outlining the procedure taken by the Business Manager when a committee wishes to add new titles. Second by Larson.
Current Wording: None.
Proposed Wording:
Section 9.1.1 Office Manager’s Procedure for Committee Inquiries Involving New Titles or Changes to Existing Titles
When the Office Manager receives Committee inquiries about adding a new title or changes to existing titles, the Office Manager will determine if the new title requires programming into the ASCA computer system. If the new title or change requires programming, the Office Manager will require that the Committee sends a Program Rules Template through the Committee Liaison. After receipt of the Program Rules Template, the Office Manager will consult with the ASCA Board of Directors and ASCA’s IT/System Committee or Computer System Team prior to requesting a quote. The Office Manager will request a quote to program the new title only after the ASCA Board of Directors’ consent. After receipt of the quote, the Office Manager will then provide it to the Committee via the Liaison.
Comments/Rationale: This addition to the Policy Book will prevent the approval of new titles or changes to existing programs without determining the cost. In this manner, the cost for programming will be integrated into the process for approval of program changes or new titles, preventing future burdens on ASCA finances.
Affected: Program Committees and Office Manager.
Effective Date: Immediately upon Board approval.

The voting results for this motion are below.
BD.22.144 New Committee Procedures for Titles or Changes to Existing Titles that Require Programming into ASCA’s Computer System (Revised 12/13)
Motion carried (9-0) – Approved: Busquets, Byrne, Creelman, Gann, Gerken, Larson, McCabe, Sims, Wesen. Disapproved: None. Abstained: None. Non-voting: None.
Motion by Busquets to add the below section to Section 6.5 of the Committee Procedures. Second by Larson.
Current Wording: None.
Proposed Wording:
Section 6.5.3 Motions that Require Programming into ASCA’s Computer System
Program Committees shall follow the procedure below when motions for new titles or changes to existing program titles are being considered:
- When the Committee determines that a new title or a change to an existing title would enhance their program and benefit ASCA, the Committee shall request that the Liaison ask the Office Manager if the new title or change will require programming into the ASCA system.
- If the Office Manager determines that the new title or change does not require programming, the Liaison shall inform the Committee and the motion can continue as already stated in the Committee Procedures.
- If the Office Manager determines that the new title or change will require programming, the Liaison shall inform the Committee and direct the Committee to complete the Program Rules Template and return it to the Office Manager through the Liaison. After consulting with the ASCA Board of Directors and the IT Committee and with their agreement, the Office Manager will then request a quote from the programming contractor to add the new title/change to the ASCA system. The Office Manager will forward the quote to the Committee via the Liaison once it is received.
- If the Committee determines that the benefit to ASCA still outweighs the cost, the Committee can go forward with a motion to add the title or change.
- Any motion sent to the Board that adds a new title or changes an existing title shall include the Program Rules Template, the quote provided by the contractor, and a rationale explaining how the new title or change enhances the program and benefits ASCA.
Comments/Rationale: This new process will prevent the addition of titles or changes to ASCA programs without considering the cost. This will prevent future burdens on ASCA finances.
Affected: Program Committees and the Office Manager.
Effective Date: Immediately upon Board approval.

Members,
The voting results for this motion are below.
BD.22.143 Notification to Disqualifying Judge
Motion carried (9-0) – Approved: Busquets, Byrne, Creelman, Gann, Gerken, Larson, McCabe, Sims, Wesen. Disapproved: None. Abstained: None. Non-voting: None.
Motion by Busquets to require a notification be sent to the judge who originally disqualified a dog due to Breed Standard discrepancies in the event the dog is reinstated by the ASCA Board of Directors. Second by Creelman.
Current Wording:
16.2.4 Completion of Examination and Notification
After all required materials, evidence, and forms have been reviewed; the ASCA Board of Directors will notify the owner of the dog in writing about the final determination of the dog’s eligibility. The ASCA Board of Directors has final approval or disapproval on the reinstatement of the dog in question.
Proposed Wording:
16.2.4 Completion of Examination and Notification
After all required materials, evidence, and forms have been reviewed the ASCA Board of Directors will notify the owner of the dog in writing about the final determination of the dog’s eligibility. The ASCA Board of Directors has final approval or disapproval on the reinstatement of the dog in question. In the event the ASCA Board of Directors decides that the dog should be reinstated, a notification shall be sent to the Judge who originally disqualified the dog.
Comments/Rationale: This addition to the conformation rules requires a notification be sent to a judge who has disqualified a dog due to breed standard discrepancies when that dog has been reinstated. Under the existing rules, when a dog gets reinstated after being examined by three breeder judges, the disqualifying judge is not notified and therefore, not provided with any education about the mistake. This notification would encourage the judge to re-examine the breed standard and minimize future errors.
Affected: Business Office and Conformation Judges.
Effective Date: Immediately upon Board approval.

The voting results for this motion are below.
BD.22.142 Revision of Section 16.2.1 of Conformation Rules (Revised 12/14)
Motion carried (9-0) – Approved: Busquets, Byrne, Creelman, Gann, Gerken, Larson, McCabe, Sims, Wesen. Disapproved: None. Abstained: None. Non-voting: None.
Motion by Busquets to modify Section 16.2.1 of the Conformation Rules to add a specific non-refundable fee of $50 and Request for Reinstatement Form for Dogs Disqualified for Breed Discrepancies. Second by Creelman.
Current Wording:
16.2.1 Documentation Required for Reinstatement
To initiate the reinstatement procedure, the owner of the dog in question must request in writing for reinstatement. The letter must include a copy of the disqualified dog’s ASCA registration certificate, the ASCA Disqualified or Excused Dog form, and a non-refundable fee as determined by the ASCA Board of Directors, to the ASCA Business Office at the following address: ASCA Business Office, 6091 E. State Highway 21, Bryan, TX 77808.
The ASCA Business Office will forward the Explanation for Disqualified or Excused Dogs form, request for reinstatement letter, entry forms from the event in question, and any other applicable information but not limited to photographs, witness statements, veterinary reports, all including contact information, to the ASCA Board of Directors within two weeks of receipt of all information.
Upon receipt of the aforementioned documents, the ASCA Board of Directors will review all evidence. The ASCA Board of Directors could require additional information from all parties. In a timely manner, the ASCA Board of Directors will provide the owner of the dog with its decision to either continue with the procedure, or to deny the application. The ASCA Board of Directors will notify the owner of the dog of its decision whether to proceed with the reinstatement process or to deny the reinstatement.
Proposed Wording:
16.2.1 Documentation Required for Reinstatement
To initiate the reinstatement procedure, the owner of the dog in question must request in writing for reinstatement. The request must include the Request for Reinstatement Form, the non-refundable fee as stated in the form, and any other pertinent information, to the ASCA Business Office at the following address: ASCA Business Office, 6091 E. State Highway 21, Bryan, TX 77808.
The ASCA Business Office will forward the Request for Reinstatement Form, the Explanation for Disqualified or Excused Dogs Form, entry forms from the event in question, and any other applicable information but not limited to photographs, witness statements, veterinary reports, all including contact information, to the ASCA Board of Directors within two weeks of receipt of all information.
Upon receipt of the aforementioned documents, the ASCA Board of Directors will review all evidence. The ASCA Board of Directors could require additional information from all parties. In a timely manner, the ASCA Board of Directors will provide the owner of the dog with its decision to either continue with the procedure or deny the application. In the event that, following examination by three breeder judges, the Board decides to reinstate the dog, the fee will be refunded.
Comments/Rationale: This change specifies a fee rather than having a fee be determined by the ASCA Board of Directors for each request. This will provide consistency and the owner(s) requesting the reinstatement will know what the fee will be from the beginning. Also, rather than having a letter sent by the owner, the form will make it easier for the Business Office to look at the information for the dog and event in question.
Affected: Business Office staff and conformation competitors.
Effective Date: Immediately upon Board approval.

3.3.1 Novice Level
To earn this title a dog must jump in the same division three times at an ASCA-licensed dock jumping event. No points will be calculated during the Novice title achievement.

A launch has a series of two rounds (cycles) of distance jumping competition. The longer jump for each dog will become its official score. The jump must be an intentional jump by the dog and handler. A jump is defined as the handler intending for the dog to go into the pool. If a dog jumps into the pool without the intention of the handler, the dog may be reset for an intentional jump. The jump must be called as not intentional PRIOR to the jump distance being read or recorded. The reset can only happen one time per launch. The dog has a total time of 4 minutes on the dock.
Comments/Rationale: We have had clubs ask about this scenario and we needed to clarify it in the rules.
Affected: Judges, exhibitors in the dock jumping program.
Effective Date: Immediately upon Board approval.
