Guest Wayne Posted July 24, 2012 at 01:07 AM Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 at 01:07 AM If a board member submits his resignation from the board by email to all board members, including the secretary, is that person considered to have submitted his resignation "in writing"?

Josh Martin Posted July 24, 2012 at 01:29 AM Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 at 01:29 AM If a board member submits his resignation from the board by email to all board members, including the secretary, is that person considered to have submitted his resignation "in writing"?Yes, I believe an e-mail would count as "writing" under the meaning of RONR, 11th ed., pg. 291, lines 1-6, as well as under the commonly used definition of the word "writing."If you are asking whether it counts under some customized rule of the assembly, I suppose you would need to interpret your customized rules. See RONR, 11th ed., pgs. 588-591. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstackpo Posted July 24, 2012 at 10:03 AM Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 at 10:03 AM No harm in amending the bylaws to read "... in writing, including electronic communications methods,"That could include e-mail, fax, phone call, telegram (if such still exist!), a facebook page posting, a tweet, and who knows what might come along next, I suppose! Perhaps you should limit the insertion to "including e-mail". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you should limit the insertion to "including e-mail".How could someone submit something in writing by telephone (except perhaps by TDD -- or by modem, which would really be by e-mail)?Telegram is a more interesting question, as the person submitting the resignation is not the one doing the writing.(Edited to add necessary copulative verb.)

I have read there was a maxim among World War I pilots, that you don't get to be an ace by shooting down blimps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way back when, I don't think they had all these fancy terms for English grammar. That's why Shakespeare had to write prosaic stuff such as "To be or not to be ..."
