</span>based on discussions on the list about the uncertain

197 wish to amend Ballot 197 as shown below and on the

says: “<span style="color:#C00000">"Section 3: The vote on
Ballot 194 and the Review Period notice issued for Ballot
194 are hereby declared null and void and of no effect, and
are rescinded.”
