Guest kimbe Posted August 10, 2011 at 03:48 PM Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 at 03:48 PM Background: Recently our executive director has been attemping to have motions considered and voted on using email ---our by-laws state that this can only be done during a meeting where "simultaneous" discussion can be part of the motion decision process. Now the ED is suggesting that a policy be written up to allow for on line email motions and discussions---I beleive this is bad policy --- any one have other thoughts on this issue or good arguments for me to resist creating a email online motion process does roberts have any suggestions on this topic thanks for thoughts kimbe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any authorization of absentee voting of any kind must be done via a bylaws amendment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
