The Kennel Club Liaison Council meets twice a year.

Should a proposal fail to gain sufficient support, through more votes against than for at the Council meeting, it cannot be re-presented for 2 years. This is KC General Committee policy to avoid items being resubmitted time and again with the same outcome.

Just remember that all Kennel Club Obedience changes start with your democratically elected representatives who can only do their job if you have made them aware of your opinions.

Anyone, either individuals or clubs, can submit agenda items for inclusion on the Obedience Council agenda.
