 The 2025 Executive Council held its first full meeting at the Auckland Exhibition Centre on the 26th and 27th of July.   Full details will be published in the minutes in due course, and I don’t want to pre-empt them, but I like to release as much information as I properly can in this blog as soon as possible.  Below are some items about what was discussed and decided.

    Would the President please confirm where the monies to top up Dogs NZ hire-age of Manfeild Equestrian Centre is sourced from? A recent Dogs iE mail advises the monies from sale of Porirua including interest from this investment is ringfenced, so one assumes it is not being used to top up Manfeild hire-age.

  Welcome to my Blog! I hope this will be useful and effective in keeping us in touch with each other and ensuring that you can ask about anything you want to know, and learn what's going on as quickly as possible. As far as I'm concerned there are only two rules. ·        Let’s keep it polite ·         No anonymous posts please ·         And maybe one request; try to keep it short Don’t forget that I’m only one person on The Team though; keep in touch with your executive councillors and let them know what you’re thinking too.  Often, I may deal with your posts by sending them to one of The Team for attention, or to the office.  We’re all here to make the best job we can of running the organisation and helping you.

  Facebook I believe that Facebook is unsuitable for online discussion in an organisation as large as ours, with as much going on.    As I was teaching myself how to manage this blog I discovered that you will be able to copy from here to Facebook.    That’s fine, but this blog will always be the only place you can have an inclusive discussion.   I won’t get involved in Facebook discussions – there will simply be too many and I won’t see them all anyway – and only whatever group has formed around the page on which you put the post will see it or whatever discussion it prompts.   I encourage you to take advantage of this blog.

  New Executive Council Initial Meeting The new EC held an extraordinary meeting immediately after ACOD on 28 June 2025 to agree on the methods and style they will bring to the role over the next two years.   There were some topical issues that lent themselves to immediate decisions, so these were addressed. End of office lease Agreed to begin actively considering alternative locations immediately Social Media Policy Considered because we recognise that many members still feel we need one. Agreed that too many issues of privacy, jurisdiction, and enforceability exist, so we will not revisit the 2023 ACOD decision to do without a social media policy. Privacy Agreed to investigate Dog NZ’s privacy policies to clarify the reporting of disciplinary matters and disputes in our internal media considering the principle that justice should be seen to be done, and there is educational and deterrent value in awareness of disciplinary breaches and outcomes.
