Action taken that supersedes prior action

At board meeting board majority votes to go in a certain direction. Three weeks later President has decided (no doubt by contact from some board members who felt slighted) that we should vote via email. Would it not be necessary to have a motion with discussion to overturn the prior motion and then another motion to consider the new action? Does using email constitute discussion?

Depending on the circumstances it might be possible to Rescind/Amend Something Previously Adopted (RONR pp. 293-299). However, voting by e-mail is not allowed unless the bylaws specifically permit it (RONR p. 2 footnote, p. 244d, p. 255, pp. 408-409).
