I received the following response from Tony stillman this morning:

"That is because there were no cross proposals for you to vote on. The
interim vote deals only with those. So for IFF, the next and final step
is the final vote process."

Note that this is exactly opposite from what he told me in response to
my questions on June 4 (his response in red):

"2. Interim - Cross proposals may be submitted but ONLY for proposals
that passed in the Initial vote. Proposals that passed the Initial phase
are voted on again along with any cross proposals. Proposals that fail
are done for this 2 year cycle.That is correct"

In the voting in 2010 ALL proposals were on the Interim ballot. In 2012
there was only one proposal and a cross proposal to that was voted on in
the interim ballot which would have happened in either interpretation of
the process.

I believe that today's interpretation makes more sense than what I was
told previously but I wonder who made the "new" interpretation. I also
wonder why the AMA rule book can not be written more clearly so that
these misunderstandings don't happen in the first place.
