Ivan makes a formal request to the DNC board that he be given protection from Roland Clarke. Ivan claims that he is afraid of Roland Clarke and claims that he believes that Roland Clarke is crazy and that is pursuing a goal of destroying him. He makes a further claim that Roland Clarke has attacked him in past and feels that he is not strong enough to defend himself against Roland Clarke and makes a request to the board to intervene and protect him from Roland Clarke.
Ivan requests that this demand be added to the minutes.
There is a request from a board member that Ivan's demand be delivered in writing. There is another request by a board member that Ivan Drury provide the board with a comprehensive list of those board members who frighten him, so the board can properly deal with the issue.
