The FCI Task Force 2011, appointed by the FCI General Committee following the Bratislava General Assembly, met for the first time in May 2010 in Frankfurt. Representing diverse nations, cultures, breeds and activities and with many decades of expertise in the world of dogs between them, the FCI Task Force 2011 was established by the Board of the FCI to compile a comprehensive set of recommendations regarding the future of this leading global organisation for dogs - covering constitutional, strategic and operational issues. At its first meeting, the Task Force tackled a fully packed two day agenda, established three working groups and will meet again in early September for its second meeting, also in Frankfurt.
