RONR (12th ed.), 9:30. Voting by email, or other absentee voting methods is also prohibited unless the bylaws expressly authorize it. RONR (12th ed.), 45:56. Therefore, an in person meeting and in person voting is still required until the bylaws are properly amended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check the bylaws (and any higher governing documents) to see how they can be amended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if Mr. Wynn and Mr. Huynh both post together on the same thread it would really be a win-win for everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
