Re: new motion



As Professor Kulisch has correctly pointed out that my message of Sept. 2 and my announcement of the final vote were inconsistent, I attach a copy of the tally, showing the time (local Milwaukee time) I received each vote.  The final tally announced was the correct one, 
    Yes - 6; No - 30; Needed for quorum - 32

Prof. Kulish also is correct to point out that if all of the "Yes" votes had withdrawn, there would not have been a quorum, so the amendment would have failed for lack of a quorum.  Same outcome: The amendment is not adopted.

I apologize for the confusion my error has caused.
