Donald,
The answer to your question is contained in a motion adopted by the AIS
Board of Directors at their Fall, 1992 meeting as reported on p. 89 of the
January, 1993 AIS Bulletin.
Proposal 3: Initiating the eligibility for the new medals.
The new medals are the C.G. White, Mohr, Williamson-White, Nies, Mitchell,
and Payne. The 1993 and 1994 eligibility list for the new medals will
consist of the AM equivalent award winners for the previous six years. When
1993 AMs become eligible in 1995, the three earliest equivalent award
winners will be deleted. In 1996, any remaining equivalent award winners
will be deleted.
As you can see, the transition was a little more complex than you
envisioned, since the 1993 AM winners in these classes did not become
eligible to receive a medal until 1995 in accordance with standard AIS
policy.
