Gerry,
If an iris has won its class's Special Medal then it should be on the ballot
for all the years it is entitled to be on the ballot for the Dyke's Medal.
But if for some reason a class does not have 3 irises eligible from the
Special Medal group, then I do not think it is fair to bring up an iris that
had previously been on the ballot for the allotted time, and was dropped for
that reason, just so there are 3 irises in each class up for the Dyke's Medal.
I think we should have (at least) 3 irises in each class IF ELIGIBLE. Is
that clearer?

Cheryl,
Are you saying that you think that it is more fair for an iris that
never won its class's Special Medal should be put on the Dykes Medal
ballot, possibly getting extra years there?
Or are you saying that you want to get rid of the requirement to have
(at least) three iris from each class on the ballot entirely?

Hello all,
I do not think it is fair to place an iris that has been dropped from the
eligibility list for the Dyke's Medal back on the ballot, just to bring
the
numbers up to 3 per class. It really seems unfair to the other classes
of
irises that do not get that "extra" year of eligibility. If there is an
error
in the placement of an iris on the ballot, then I believe it should be
addressed as additional time, but just to make up the numbers doesn't
seem
fair.

Bob Pries moved and Cheryl Deaton seconded the below motion. It is now
out for discussion.
"In cases where there would otherwise be fewer than three irises on the
ballot for the Dykes Medal in any iris class, the most recent earlier
winner(s) of the Special Medal in that class that have been dropped from
the Dykes Medal ballot shall be added back to the ballot in order to
bring the number of candidates up to three."
