Recommendations for Change - # 135

Rule 135 F: Proposal for how the new rule should read:
An individual’s conduct as a judge must be exemplary and is subject to continual Judges Committee review. The privilege of holding a NASMA judges card is revocable by the Judges Committee, with or without notice, or formal hearing. Yearly accumulation of judge’s evaluation forms, complaints, or other reasons violating exemplary conduct of judge will result in a revoked NASMA approved judging status. In the event a judge has not been used for the current showing year up to 3 years, a mandatory 3 year review will be conducted. All other yearly review will be conducted in the month of December of the current showing year.

The review process for judges shall consist of current judges card held within another registered breed, and NASMA judge’s evaluation form comments and scores from both show management and exhibitors. If a judge’s yearly review demonstrates unsatisfactory scores/comments, the judge will be placed on probation and removed from the approved judges list. Any judge placed on probation will have the opportunity to address their review with the judges committee. A final decision as to the status of the judges NASMA standing will be made by the judges committee. Rubric for judges yearly evaluation can be found under the “forms” section of the NASMA website.

 
 

Justification and impact if rule is not changed

Justification: current rule doesn’t specify how a judge is too be reviewed or what happens to the judges review sheets sent in.

Impact: If this rule isn’t changed the procedure for filling out judges evaluations is useless.
