thanks Andy for the info as it help's keep up to date on what's going on so we are not surprised when things change. a few thoughts not sure if you can / will change them but having to have the ballets back in 30 days i feel might not work for any international members as we in Canada usually get a magazine about 2 weeks after the U.S members. i do not see why you would have a spot to not vote for someone? the yes/no thing ? seems like that's not needed. as we now know with not being able to have a write in candidate i share the concerns as Josh that some Vetting could be done with the candidate's names that show up on the card. i am in no way saying that is being done or would be. i just feel the way i read that it leaves the door open.
