"For the purpose of this Article, the words "postal vote" may also mean a vote by electronic means (the concrete procedure to be specified beforehand by the executive committee).“ Explanation: Article 8 currently proscribes that ballots be distributed by post and returned to the Secretary either by post or hand-delivered at the annual meeting. The added text would enable voting by electronic mail or another electronic mechanism established by the executive committee.

3:42 PM Pending Proposals Proposal II: In Article 8, second paragraph, first sentence, the words "annual meeting" will be changed to "voting deadline". The complete, modified, sentence will read: "By-laws may be adopted, altered, or repealed by a majority of the membership voting by postal vote, upon written proposal by the Executive committee dispatched to the membership at least sixty days before the voting deadline." Explanation: This modification will allow a proposal to modify the By-laws to be put before the membership and voted upon independently of an annual meeting. (Votes on proposals to modify the Constitution would remain tied to the annual meeting.)
