On Saturday August 19th 2006, our annual general assembly took place in the 
Cafe of the Körnerhalle in Schwechat near Vienna. A lot of members accepted the 
invitation and after the welcome of the members and the statement of the quorum Mr. 
Harald Michal and Mrs. Christine Feldberger, were confirmed as scrutinizers unanimously. 
The approval of the agenda of the current assembly and the minutes of the general assembly 2005 passed and afterwards the board gave its reports. 
In the
area of exhibitions, the number of exhibited cats raised again in comparisation with the show year 2004. 
However there is currently lesser demand than offers for catshows and the future 
plans will be adopted accordingly. For 2006 there are currently 8 shows 
scheduled. 
In the area of the pedigrees, KKÖ issued 2005 even slightly more pedigrees than 
2004, which was the largest amount of pedigrees 
since his
foundation. 
The amount of members increased 2005 slightly. 
The president, Mr. Preiss, appreciated his gratitude to all which helped during 
the shows, the members of the board, the members of the show commission and to 
all which are not in a official function. |

   Afterwards the proposals were discussed. Only carried

	member. The board explained that this program is in use since several years, 
	however the detailed rules are not mentioned at the KKÖ homepage. 
	The board stated to recalculate the bonus points for the year 2005 and 
	inform the respective members as well as to describe the detailed rules at 
	the KKÖ homepage. The proposals were therefore withdrawn by the member. | 
   
  
    
   
    
	Information about mating rules with stud males without a FIFe pedigree will 
	be adopted at the KKÖ homepage to fit to the current KKÖ rules for breeding 
	and health. | 
   
  
    
     
	The consulting and support of breeders and members is 
	currently done with individual meetings. This has to be adopted at the KKÖ homepage 
	accordingly.. | 
   
	
    
     
	The board informed all participants, that starting with 
	January 1st 2007 all cats which will be used for breeding shall be micro
