The chairman reported that the Board had received the following applications :
Serbia
Peru
Hong Kong
Macedonia
Egypt (Egyptian Rottweiler Club)
Mexico (Azteca Rottweiler Club)
RKNA (Rottweiler Klub of North America)
The applications of the clubs of
Serbia
Peru
Hong Kong
Macedonia
Egypt (Egyptian Rottweiler Club)
had been accepted by the board on a provisional basis, awaiting the final decision of
the Meeting of the Delegates.
The provisional approval of the Club of Egypt was submitted to two conditions : to
bring a stop to allowing Egyptian breeders to obtain and issue pedigrees as if the
litters would be born in Serbia + to do all within its powers to (help) found and then
join an FCI approved national kennelclub. The chairman explained the situation
in Egypt as it was explained to himself, in particular the complaint that the now
existing FCI-affiliated kennelclub is said to refuse all contact with this Rottweilerclub
while another Rottweilerclub has been founded that is now affiliated to the kennelclub
but is not yet recognized by the Egyptian authorities. The Meeting decided that in
these circumstances, the club cannot be accepted as a member of the IFR but that a
new application will be considered after the club will obtain membership of the FCI-
affiliated kennelclub. The Delegate from Serbia added that since a few months, no
Serbian pedigrees are issued anymore to Egyptian litters.
The club from Mexico (Azteca Rottweiler Club) was absent at the Meeting, was not
represented and its application was refused awaiting a further initiative by the club.
The application by the RKNA was refused by the Board as this club demanded IFR
membership before considering to change its breed standard to the FCI
breedstandard. For the same reason, the Meeting refused the application as far as
the application would still be actual as no further news from this club was received.
The applications by the clubs from
Serbia
Peru
Hong Kong
Macedonia
were accepted and the chairman welcomed them as new members of the IFR.6. Report of the executive board for the expired period The chairman gave the report by means of a power point presentation. A strong emphasis was laid upon the publication of the IFR magazine “The Rottweiler in the World” , a publication of high quality. Its editors Kathleen Vos and Erika Stepanauskine were thanked for their enormous efforts and all Delegates were urged to do all within their powers to make the magazine better known in their clubs and countries. Also, emphasis was laid by the chairman upon the fact that it is very regrettable that communication is difficult, more precisely the fact that many Memberclubs do not answer e-mails or requests for information while a good / quick communication is essential if the IFR wants to achieve its goals and if the IFR board wants to be in a position to be active and reactive. The chairman urges all Delegates to be aware of this. A good communication is the very first condition for a good cooperation within the IFR. Recognizing local structures might be very useful in this. 7. Report of the auditors (financial report). All books are present at the Meeting and available to be checked. The summary is projected on a screen for all to see and concludes to a financial balance of 54166,13 euro. Besides this balance, the IFR still owns an important and valuable stock of books (Pienkoss book : English and German version) that are for sale (to be obtained by contacting the boardmembers or by ordering on the IFR-website – possibility to pay by creditcard and/or pay-pal and/or bank account).

8. Discussion on the reports
No remarks or questions were made. Both reports were accepted and approved
unanimously and without reservations.
9. Relief of the Board
The Executive Board was relieved unanimously and without reservation. The
chairman first thanked all boardmembers and then extensively honoured Mr. and
Mrs. Hoffmann for their efforts for the IFR. A present (an engraved crystal statute)
was given. The Delegate from Argentina also offered a present to Mr. Hoffmann
on behalf of his club.
10. Proposals sent in by member-clubs
The following proposals were send by the Club of Argentina.1. Application for Congress and World Show 2017
To be treated under topic 12.
2. Complement the activities in 2017, including Working and Judges Seminars.
To be treated under topic 12.
3. To organize in Argentina a permanent head office of the IFR for America.
The Delegate explains that a better communication can be obtained by
recognizing local persons who can function as representatives of the
clubs in the concerned continent. For example : one person for Latin-
America.
The chairman explained that this is foreseen in the proposal to adapt
the constitution. He also pointed out that the form of such a local
structure must be well thought over, especially the question if it would
be a representative of the concerned clubs or a representative of the
IFR and in that case a local contact person (liaison officer) for the IFR.
In the first case however, the structure may not harm the sovereignty of
the clubs nor their individual membership and consequent rights. At
the suggestion of the Delegate of Sweden, the Delegate of Argentina
will now first consult with the Latin American countries and then present
a proposal to the Executive Board.
4. Organization of a Regional IFR Cup.
The Meeting agrees with the idea that a Regional IFR Cup (= show) can
be organized. More details (conditions, regulations, …) were not
discussed at the Meeting. The IFR world titles will not be given at such
local events and a simultaneous organization of seminars is wished for.
5. Translation of Pienkoss book in Spanish - a digital version, if printed is not
possible.
Research and a proposal for a digital lay out and publication will follow
by the Delegate of Lithuania.
The chairman points out that copy-rights exist and have to be paid for
German and English versions to Mrs. Broekeland (6 %). For all other
languages the copy-rights belong to Mr. Dieter Hoffmann. Prior to all
further publication, an agreement with the proprietor of these Intellectual
Property Rights has to be reached.
11. Proposals to adapt the current constitution of the I.F.R.
The text of the proposal was available in hard copy and was projected.
The finally approved version is attached to these minutes.
