The National Committee may, without meeting together, transact business 
by 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 ranking procedure of the region, only if the 
regional representative fails to respond to the ballot.

The number of votes required for passage of any motion shall be the same 
as that required during a meeting. The Secretary shall preserve all such 
votes until the next meeting of the National Committee, at which meeting 
the Committee shall order the disposition of such votes.

the change is received by the Secretary by the deadline for return of 
ballots.
