To those interested in Interex's recent Special Election:

On July 1, 1999, the following message was posted to Interex's Special Election
Web page and the 3000-L.

On August 12, 1999, the Interex Board of Directors completed the voting to
change the amendment passed in the Special Election.  The last sentence of the
referenced section in the amended Bylaw now reads:

 "No Director who has previously been elected or appointed to two full three
  year terms on the Board of Directors shall be eligible for reelection OR
  REAPPOINTMENT until three years have passed after completion of the second
  such term."

The changed amendment places the same restrictions on length of service for
both elected AND appointed board positions.

This change is effective immediately.  However, if a petition protesting the
addition of these two words (and signed by 2% of the membership) is received at
the principal office of Interex within 90 days (by November 12, 1999), this
change by the Board of Directors shall have no effect until it is approved by a
majority of members by a mail ballot.
