Please keep the breed separate from the American Burm with it's own distinct look.

I sincerely hope that this whole thing is someone's idea of a joke, but it's not very amusing.

The CFA type cat isn't. The European Burmese is an elegant breed of foreign type and the CFA cat is very different and should be judged differently. However the most important thing here is health. I was in the US some years ago and saw CFA type cats and kittens whose faces were so short that they couldn't keep their tongues in their mouths. This added to the genetic problems should keep the two 'types' seperate

Two separate breeds have evolved and they must be kept separate and the EB should be preserved. We see too many breeds being changed on a whim or for fashion - don't let this happen to what is essentially a hardy and healthy breed as it can only be detrimental to kittens when the EB also inherit the lethal gene. What is wrong with continuing to have the 2 distinct breed standards?

It contravenes the Breed Advisory Committee standard of points and any judge so awarding points for a clear contravention of this SOP should be warned for their actions and cautioned as to their future assignments at recognised cat shows

I do hope that the policy will be re-thought before it is too late and the type is lost.

The European Burmese should be judged to the written approved standard and not changed by fashion, our breed is meant to elegant of moderate foriegn type , all apsects of the breed should be moderate.
