◎Proposal 10 上記8の変更を受け不要な表現や文言を削除･･･71人のBreed Committeeメンバーのうち60人が投票し、54人が賛成し（6人が反対）、Boardで可決されました。
PROPOSED (If Proposal 8 passes): Remove unnecessary and incomplete charcoal color descriptions.

BROWN (BLACK) CHARCOAL TABBY: Same as Brown (Black) Tabby except the Charcoal brown colors are cold browns, with no warm gold, or amber tones and with the addition of Mask, Goggles, and Cape.

◎Proposal 11 HEADの「flat plane」に関する変更･･･71人のBreed Committeeメンバーのうち62人が投票し、53人が賛成し（9人が反対）、Boardで可決されました。
PROPOSED: Remove “No flat planes” from head description.
HEAD: Broad, modified wedge with rounded contours, longer than wide, with high cheekbones. Slightly small in proportion to body, not to be taken to extreme. Top of skull flows back into the neck, with visible back skull. No flat planes. Allowance for jowls on mature males.
※TICAのBG Standardには「flat plane」も「No flat plane」も出てきません。CFAにおいて「No flat planes」が削除されることで、何らかの「flat plane」があっても構わないということになります。
なお、BG Breed Committeeによると「we should plan to clarify correct range of profiles next year」としており、来年に「profile」の適切な「range」について明確化するということです。ちなみにTICAのBG Standardでは「Profile: Curve of the forehead should flow into the bridge of the nose with no break. Bridge of nose extends above the eyes; the line of the bridge extends to the nose tip, making a very slight, to nearly straight, concave curve」となっています。
