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.

his or her vote on an electronic  mail ballot, provided that the change is 
received by the Secretary by the  deadline for return of ballots.
