* Rev. Dean Duncan, District Board Secretary, explains, "It has been brought to my attention that there are some questions on the nominations for District President. In the results I provided [to the IDE TODAY] there is a tie for the third ballot. Yet only one of those three people was put on the ballot for District President [See Convention Workbook]. This year we stated that 'this nomination form must be received by the District Secretary no later than February 1, 2006.' Based on the nominations I received by February First, the totals were: 44 Gary Arp, 15 Jerry Doellinger, 8 Matthew Rueger, 7 Tim Zimmermann, 7 Brian Saunders. However, both I and the District Office received a number of ballots after the deadline. In consultation with Rosanne at the District Office, we decided to include the totals of these late ballots since a number of them were faxed or mailed to the District Office instead of to me. So could [the IDE TODAY Editor] please place an asterisk behind the names of Tim Zimmerman and Brian Saunders. And with the asterisk note below that these totals are final numbers that reflect late ballots that came in after the deadline of February 1, 2006."
