<DIV>Five votes were disallowed, as they either did not contain a name,
competition class, or AMA number. All three elements were required for a
vote to be tallied. There were three votes where a person selected two
classes for their competition. In those situations, I used the lower
class, so that the vote could be consistently counted across all classes
represented in those choices (there was one each in Intermediate, Advanced, and
Masters).</DIV>
<DIV> The source information has been saved by Ed (and I) for
archival needs, should any arise.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It is my hope, since I was the original "questioner", that this information
may serve to foster discussion and gain insights about our preferences and serve
also to springboard future similar polls and member involvement activity in this
Rule Change year.</DIV>
<DIV> We wish the President-elect to consider this
information, and discuss with the Board possible future activities.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks to all of you for your participation and insight!!!</DIV>
