For those that may not be aware:

"Additional nominations for president or Vice President may be made by petition signed by at least 2 percent of the members entitled to vote as of October 1st of the year proceeding the election. The petitioners shall represent at least half of the Districts with not less than ten signatures required from each and the petitioners shall not have greater than 30 percent of the signatures required from any one district."

"Each such petition shall be accompanied by the written consent of the nominee to run for the office nominated and must be received by ITE Headquarters office no later than March 1, 2013."

"Eligible voting members will be able to cast ballots by mail or e-mail starting on July 19, 2013 at 12:00 a.m. EDT."

This verbiage is taken from a letter sent out by ITE and as re-printed on page 30 of the January 2013 ITE Journal.

I believe Mike Spack is simply attempting to comply with the ITE petition process outlined above and I do not believe it is a petition to "change the rules".
