current on its 2013 dues payment in order for its ballot to be counted. If you
are unsure of your dues status or of whom your designated voting member is,
please contact Mariah Echele at mariah@mecheleconsults.com for this information.

A
jurisdictional member who is unable to submit his or her vote may designate a proxy.
According to the IAGR Bylaws, “Each Jurisdictional member may designate another
Ordinary Member to exercise the Jurisdictional Vote; or designate another
Ordinary Member from that Jurisdiction to be the Jurisdictional
Representative.” Please provide any such designations in writing to Secretary
Trude Felde, with copies to Ordinary Members in that jurisdiction, no later
than midnight on June 1st (based on Central European Summer Time). The proxy
vote itself must be submitted no later than midnight on June 3rd (based on
Central European Summer Time).

Thank you
