Our Board meets monthly, and a practice has recently started where a Board member (not the Chair) will send an email to other Board members, indicating that they want to make a motion for the Board to act upon. If I understand correctly, the Chair then initiates the introduction of this motion by email to all Board members, requesting the seconding of the motion. Should a second be received, a request for a vote by all Board members is sent by the Chair. Per our by-laws, if a quorum of Board members respond to the email thread, it is considered to be a valid vote. Are there any time limits upon either how long after the initial motion, a seconding of the motion can be received? Must is occur X # of days before/after a formal monthly Board meeting? ANY other helpful suggestions on conducting or improving these processes would be genuinely and gratefully appreciated! Thanks!
