Subject: [iris] Draft 2015 AIS ballot available

John Jones has posted a draft version of the 2015 AIS awards ballot to the
AIS web site. It is available at:

http://irises.org/pdf/AIS2015_Draft_Ballot.pdf

It is being made available so that hybridizers, judges, and any other
interested parties can check it for errors. Many steps go into the
preparation of the ballot, and the more eyes that look it over the better.

It is interesting that one of the two recent minor changes to the Awards
rules has affected this ballot. Previously the rules stated that there were
to be  minimum of two votes and two winners in each HM and AM class, so that
if there were only two candidates in a class there would no voting that
year, and both candidates would be held over until there were at least
three. Now the rule states that if there are only two candidates there will
be one vote and one winner. This is the case for AB HM in the 2015 ballot.

(Just for completeness, the other change is that there is no longer a rule
stating that there must be at least three candidates in each class on the
ballot for the Dykes Medal.)

Note that these awards are voted by accredited AIS judges and not the full
AIS membership or the general public. Also, only the official ballot, which
is mailed to the judges, can be used for voting, since there may be changes
in case omissions or other errors are found.

Please let me know if you find any problems with the draft ballot.
