Event Officiating Committee 12.3 - Motion #47-12-14 - AGM Referral: Judges and How They are Approved to Judge Purebred Dogs with the CKC At the December 2014 meeting of the Board, the following was referred to the Event Officiating Committee: In other sports, including the NHL, NBA and figure skating, judges and officials are brought to the forefront of their respective sport from the best within their sport. So you see retired hockey players becoming commentators, etc. They are basically given credit for the years of experience that they have put into their respective sport. Our current system has applicants apply, meet the requirements, pass the test and become a judge. This works on a certain level, however it seems to reduce all applicants to the same level at the beginning of the process. It does not differentiate between one applicant who may have dedicated their life to the sport and another applicant who has just met the minimum requirements. The AKC has a similar system to the CKC's but the AKC also has a secondary system known as "recommendation for advancement" where an applicant with years of experience in purebred dogs are rewarded by being approved to judge an entire group, half of a group, several breeds or even a single breed, based on their practical knowledge and success. Some of these judges have become the most sought after judges in the world. Ms. Foley requested that the CKC consider an avenue to make this secondary system possible within the CKC. Committee Report The Committee struck an Ad-Hoc Committee to deal with the referral. The Committee would like to propose the following amendment to the Policy and Procedures Manual to include a policy on advancement of professional handlers in judging. 04-12-16 MOVED BY Ms. Bennett: "THAT, the Policy and Procedures Manual, Chapter VII, Section B be amended by adding a new section to read as follows: B.
