I ran the image through OCR software. The Names, initials, headers, signatures, etc have been removed. These are the "bodies" of the minutes and addendum. They can be compared to the images. The documents were obtained by requesting the latest EC minutes from AMA HQ. They are available to any AMA member.

Addendum:

During presentation of the Nominating Committee report at the July 12, 2003 Executive Council meeting it became apparent that there was a considerable amount of ambiguity in both the Standing Rules and the AMA By-Laws regarding nominating procedures. After a review of all the documents, and on advise of council who also reviewed all the documents, Committee Chairman, Bill Oberdieck, called for reconsideration of the decision to disqualify Mike Moss for failing to meet all of the requirements necessary to be on the ballot. A revote on the issue resulted in Mike Moss being added to the ballot for election to the office of Vice President in District VIII.
