The proxy form came back from AVA and has been given to Nancy Wittenberg with the check to help defray expenses. New issues about IVV Americas have risen relative to Section 501(c)(3). IVV Americas has yet to form the nonprofit status in violation of AVA bylaws. Our instruction to Nancy regarding IVV Americas is wise.
