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

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

disposition of such votes.<o:p></o:p><br>
