What is a Breed Advisory Committee (BAC)?
A Breed Advisory Committee (BAC) is a committee of the Governing Council of the Cat Fancy (GCCF). There is a BAC for each breed with a responsibility to work in the interests of the cats of its Breed by establishing, monitoring and maintaining its Breeding Policy, Registration Policy and the Standards of Points. The BAC also monitors the training and performance of the Judges on its list and candidates for Judges within its Probationer Judge Appointment Scheme. The BAC also provides a forum for discussion for the Constituent Club. This BAC considers all aspects of the Somali Breed.
The BAC operates in accordance with its Constitution which is based on a GCCF template for BACs and after personalisation to meet specific BACs purposes is approved by the GCCF’s Board. Once formed the BAC become the sole group recognised as the advisory/recommending body to the GCCF Council for that Breed.
