Sec.  1215.27  Procedure.

    (a) At a properly convened meeting of the Board, a majority of the 
members shall constitute a quorum.
    (b) Each member of the Board will be entitled to one vote on any 
matter put to the Board, and the motion will carry if supported by a 
simple majority of those voting. At assembled meetings of the Board, all 
votes will be cast in person.
    (c) In lieu of voting at a properly convened meeting and, when in 
the opinion of the chairperson of the Board such action is considered 
necessary, the Board may take action upon the concurring votes by a 
majority of its members by mail, telephone, facsimile, or any other 
means of communication. If appropriate, any such action shall be 
confirmed promptly in writing. In that event, all members must be given 
prior notice and provided the opportunity to vote. Any action so taken 
shall have the same force and effect as though such action had been 
taken at a properly convened meeting of the Board. All votes shall be 
recorded in Board minutes.
    (d) Meetings of the Board may be conducted by electronic 
communications, provided that each member is given prior notice of the 
meeting and has the opportunity to be present either physically or by 
electronic connection.
    (e) The organization of the Board and the procedures for conducting 
meetings of the Board shall be in accordance with its bylaws, which 
shall be established by the Board and approved by the Secretary.
