Our next item of old business is #04, electronic meetings.  

This first surfaced at

Up for discussion:

04 Holding a meeting "electronically" is not limited to real-time. Email
   counts.

   The practice of meetings by email seems to be out of order.

   Perhaps more committees will alleviate the need to email voting, if
   the board is not supposed to concern itself with day-to-day business.

   Article 7, para. 3 prevents email voting.

Let's see what to do about this.
