A month ago I sent the below email. All you need to do is reply with<br>
YES in your message. Take 2 seconds and do that now, please! If you<br>
already replied, please accept my apologies and re-reply because I<br>
didn't get it.<br>
<br>
thanks, Rachel<br>

In plain English: we consensed on Shannon tonight, which is<br>
Noisebridge's way of deciding things. To make this legal, however,<br>
please respond to this email with the word "YES", indicating that you<br>
vote for Shannon. If I screwed up and you aren't a member any more,<br>
please reply and say that instead.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
Rachel<br>

More Details for those who are interested:<br>
<br>
I'm sending this to all members using the email you gave for official<br>
communications. If we can't get everyone to respond, we'll have to have<br>
the meeting after all... I'll do my best to get everyone to respond though.<br>
<br>
According to our bylaws (<a href="https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Bylaws" target="_blank">https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Bylaws</a>), to<br>
confirm a new member of the board of directors:<br>
<br>
"Notice of any meeting of members, whether annual, general, or special,<br>
shall be in writing and shall be given at least 10 but no more than 60<br>
days before the meeting date. Notice may be given personally, by email<br>
or any other means reasonably calculated to provide actual notice to all<br>
members. If email is used, notice shall be sent to the member at his or<br>
her email address shown in the corporation's membership records. For all<br>
special meetings, the notice shall state the nature of the business to<br>
be transacted by the members. For a meeting where directors are elected,<br>
the notice shall state the names of all persons who are nominees for<br>
directors."<br>
<br>
Additionally,<br>
<br>
"Section 11. Action by Unanimous Written Consent. Any action required or<br>
permitted to be taken by the members may be taken without a meeting, if<br>
all members consent in writing to the action. The written consent or<br>
consents shall be kept by the Secretary. The action by written consent<br>
shall have the same force and effect as a unanimous vote of the members.<br>
<br>
Section 12. Definition of In Writing. Written consent shall include<br>
electronic writing, as long as the Corporation verifies that such<br>
written consent (i) comes from a member with voting privileges, and (ii)<br>
is actually made by that member and not by someone who is not entitled<br>
to participate as a member."<br>
<br>
<br>
IOW, we must either have a separate physical meeting after 10 <= N <= 60<br>
days which at least a third of members must attend, or all members in<br>
good standing must agree in writing. The latter is a lot easier, so<br>
just reply with YES in the body and send it back.<br>
