RE: Draft 2015 AIS ballot available

["George and Janet Smith" <4f80107e1@rewrite.aisboard.org>]

Gerry,

I see an extra space between paragraphs 3 and 4.

If "aril" is a title doesn't it need to be capitalized?
(i.e.: Pure Aril and 50% Aril????  several spots where it is not.

Eric Nies put 2 names under 2 names and it would be more readable an
you can then stretch out the longer iris names.

I do see several spaces between others that are single spaced (yes I
know some of the names wrap around and make the space others do not.

If you used a slightly smaller font size would it help the names not
wrap around?  No not so small is it hard to read for the judges.

That is what I see at the moment!
