Chris Harrison Posted March 1, 2013 at 01:16 AM Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 at 01:16 AM Amend the bylaws to specifically authorize the use of voting by email. That will take care of future cases and I suppose you all could ratify any decisions made by email without bylaw authorization in the past .

Guest Edgar Posted March 1, 2013 at 01:19 AM Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 at 01:19 AM Amend the bylaws to specifically authorize the use of voting by email.Or don't.RONR certainly doesn't endorse the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the actions that have already been voted on by e-mail, you can ratify them at an actual meeting.If you do authorize conducting business by e-mail, you should be sure to develop appropriate rules to figure out how that works, since RONR doesn't address this topic.
