Bulldzr and Joel re proxy vote updates
Even though the proxy votes are being tabulated by some outside firm, I would imagine that IDCC can get a tabulated updates of the voting every day. I don't know this for sure, but I am basing it on an earlier post. Some poster had called Janet just after the proxy voting began, and according to the poster Janet indicated that the No votes were winning at that point. I don't remember who the poster was or exactly when it was posted, but I do remember the gist of that post. IDCC is paying the outside firm for this tabulating service and should be entitled to updates.
Also I don't ever recall IDCC requesting additional shareholder votes for as long as I have been a shareholder, since the early 1990's. It seemed to me that they were pleading for additional votes from the people who have not yet voted. Now ask yourself, why do you think they would now be pleading for additional votes when they have never done that before? Just a little deductive reasoning tells me that the option votes are going against them.
