[LPGa Executive Committee] URGENT - Please vote tonight on support for election rule changes

[Allen Buckley]

Ryan-

I tried reading through the material - too much complexities for me to 
analyze in a short period of time, so I didn't feel appropriate for me 
to try to figure it out and vote under current personal situation

Enjoy your cruise

Thanks
