US Politics: Consolidation Vote Clarification

Text:

The Important Notice, reposted below, has recently been distributed via US
Mail and E-Mail to Academy Members only, from William W. Schumann, CPO,
Academy President.

Bill....... If taken literally for its content, this Important Notice
seems to imply that only those who submit a CONSENT FORM will be counted in
the overall voting process FOR or AGAINST Consolidation.

Would you pleased confirm or clarify that if an Academy Member DOE'S NOT
submit a CONSENT FORM their Vote is a NO Vote AGAINST Consolidation.

If I am correct on the above, your Notice also seems to imply Academy
members are not exercising their right to vote or possibly that they are too
complacent about this issue. I hope you are not misjudging them, when in
fact I suspect they do realize they do not need to send in their CONSENT
FORM... just to vote no or against Consolidation.

Since 50% of the Academy members + 1 are needed for passage of the vote on
Consolidation, and if my numbers are correct, based on a total Academy
membership of 1884, then a total of 943 vote FOR Consolidation are need for
it to pass. Is that correct?

Your clarification on the above would be appreciated!!........ John
