fax, email or other electronic means, as the Board directs.
a. Proposals From Bylaws Committee. Any proposal to amend, revise
or replace these bylaws shall be presented to the Board by an
appointed bylaws committee for Board approval prior to presentation

shall be signed by a minimum of ten (10) members, and shall be
