5 Pedigrees being issued by clubs outside of North America (we already have a procedure in place for NA clubs).
Work with the EO on establishing a procedure to allow registries to become "accepted" registries to the EO, e.g.
using criteria like licensing judges and producing shows, if they can establish with you that they have the
qualification to run a registry (e.g. letting you know how many years they have been registering cats and how many
cats are in their database). Part of the application process should also be a trans-lation" of their color names /
codes to TICA colors and a contact person in case there are questions regarding a pedigree from their registry
submitted to you. Rules W13 Agenda

D I A N E D U R Y E A
Member of TICA since 1996
Member of Siberian Breed Group since 2006
Cattery “Magnoliastar” registered 2006
Current member of First in Flight Cat Club, member since 2002
My name is Diane Duryea, and I am seeking a vacant position on the Siberian Breed
Committee. I live in Tennessee, in the United States, where I have my cattery,
Magnoliastar.
I have been involved with TICA since 1996, starting out with showing household pets. I
became the owner of my first Siberian in 2006. I showed her to a SE Regional win that
year. My interest in the Siberian breed continued to grow, and I continued to show, this
time with an alter.
I was fortunate to meet another breeder, who was instrumental in helping me to lay the
foundation for cattery. She became my mentor, and I learned a great deal from her
knowledge and wisdom.
In 2008, I bred my first litter of Magnoliastar Siberians. I continued to show, and my cats
continued to win regional awards, as well as an international award.
I breed my cats to the current standard. I have bred both standard colors, as well as
colorpoint, and my top priority is that the cats that I breed are healthy, and with good
temperaments. I am selective in my breeding program, and breed solely to advance the
breed. I do not look upon my breeding program as a source of income.
I have been actively involved with First in Flight Cat Club, and actively participate in
club activities as my job allows. I enjoy the camaraderie that the club provides, and am
always willing to help out with other clubs in other regions when asked.
My job has allowed me to travel to various parts of the country, and I support the clubs in
that region by showing my cats there.
I believe that the current breed standard should not be changed, but am open to
discussion to clarify points that the breed section have deemed ambiguous.
9
– 2 – July 27, 2012
I have mentored new breeders, and have been available to answer questions. When asked
by another breeder for assistance with her laboring queen, I traveled to stay with her and
assist in the birth.
If selected to the breed committee, I will encourage open discussion regarding issues that
various breed section members have identified. I will work hard to dispel the notion of
there being a “American” standard and a “European “ standard. I will continue to
promote the breed, and will participate in activities to that end.
I want to thank the board for allowing me this opportunity.
