Re: Extra AIS teleconference Tues Sept 29 5 PM

I really appreciate Jerry's comments and possible schedule. It puts things in perspective, and visually displays the steps in the process.

And I appreciate all the thought and effort Jerry has put into this schedule and the rest of it.

In considering that and the comments of others, it seems that a possible ballot this winter would be fraught with complications, and it would back up to and delay the normal spring ballot.

Doubling the number of Special Medals awarded and even for the Dykes in the 2021 ballot is an interesting possibility, and one that might be considered. That would result in the same numbers of medals awarded had there been a 2020 ballot or a special winter ballot.

I have no qualms about the board cancelling the 2020 ballot, considering the pandemic and its impact on all our lives. I firmly believe it was the right thing to do. There are multiple reasons for my views on that opinion that I won't enumerate here, but that I have previously expressed.

I'm looking forward to the views and opinions of others this evening.

Although I admit that I am not eager to do the extra work the additional ballot would entail, I am certainly willing to if that is what the Board decides.

I am much more concerned about the risk. Doing non-standard things in a schedule that has little wiggle room is scary.

The Presedential debate is at 6 pm PDT, 9 EDT. I, for one, want to see that. I hope we can keep the meeting to 45-50 mins.

If any ideas beyond Wednesday’s meeting can be shared before then, I think that would be helpful in keeping the meeting concise.

At this point I support an ballot for major awards this fall if a time schedule allows.

Hi Everyone:
This will be a continuation of the discussion of the hybridizer's manifesto.
If you need a copy of the manifesto, I think Michelle has it and I have it.
See you there,
