Sec.  1230.56  Procedure.

    (a) A majority of the members shall constitute a quorum at a 
properly convened meeting of the Board. Any action of the Board shall 
require the concurring votes of at least a majority of those present and 
voting. The Board shall give timely notice of its meetings. The Board 
shall give the Secretary the same notice of its meetings, including the 
meetings of its committees, as it gives to its members in order that the 
Secretary, or a representative of the Secretary, may attend the 
meetings.
    (b) The Board may take action upon the concurring votes of a 
majority of its members by mail, telephone, telegraph or by other means 
of communication when, in the opinion of the President of the Board, 
such action must be taken before a meeting can be called. Action taken 
by this emergency procedure is valid only if all members are notified 
and provided the opportunity to vote and any telephone vote is confirmed 
promptly in writing and recorded in the Board minutes. 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.
