Writing the local GBC is a good suggestion, as well as writing the GBC secretary. Also you could publicly post your comments showing the need for cow protection standards and your appreciation of the cow conference committee and Ministry of Cow Protection and Agriculture for working all year to create these standards. your servant, Hare Krsna dasi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sesa prabhu is bringing the standards (25 hard copies printed on both sides-about 7 pages and a cover page-1 additional page) to the committee. I would then think it would be up to Sesa and whoever to ask the committee, "Well what is happening with the Cow Standards."

They just have to appoint a mnitor and then they do not have to do much more then they are doing. Your servant, Chayadevi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Email campaign? > What do you recommend we do to lobby the Standards through? The problem I have heard is that the GBC get so snowed under with stuff they literally don't have time to read everything. And the standards are long if you are not a trained skimmer. Maybe talk to your local GBC so they have a chance to read them in advance and indicate that you have read them with comprehension and are in agreement with them. The problem with a lot of it is that if you don't know much about cows, you really wouldn't know if the standards are realistic or not, but if you hear from someone that knows and they say it works for them, they will be more inclined. Of course, the sticky part is the stuff they will understand, like the responsibilities of monitoring that will fall on them personally.
