  1. There should be 3 different ballot questions. If bundled there is a pretty good risk that whole thing sinks/stalls.

  2. Thank you for sharing this perspective. The IIBEC Board will be making a final decision in the coming days regarding the structure of the ballot before the election begins. Your feedback is helpful and will be considered as part of that process. — IIBEC Executive Committee
