electronic mail. The Secretary shall send out electronic mail ballots on any
question submitted by the Chair or cosponsored by at least 1/5 of the
members of the Committee. The period for voting on a question shall remain
open for ten days, unless all members have cast votes, or have stated an
intention to abstain, by electronic mail to the Secretary. Votes from
alternate regional representatives will be counted, in accordance with the
