So let's just confirm, are we ready to call a poll on any or all of these proposed amendments?  I think I have the latest/preferred text for each below, but correct me if I'm wrong:

>>1. ... "Prior to voting the prospective voter must personally ascertain that they are a member of the IGC based on membership criteria described elsewhere in this charter and posted as part of the voting information (i.e. a voter must affirm membership on the voter form prior to voting)." ... "All ballots will include the ability for voters to abstain on any choice included on the ballot."

Also in "If events prevent an election by midsummer, it will be held as soon after midsummer as possible," change the word "midsummer" to "then" in both places.
