For the purposes of this section, notice appearing in a regular publication of the foundation delivered to all members shall be sufficient to fulfill the requirement of notice. The presence in person or by written ballot at the opening of a meeting of 20 members or sixty percent of the membership whichever is less, shall constitute a quorum at any Annual or Special Meeting. If ballots are counted in order to achieve a quorum, only those questions addressed in the ballots may be decided. Business may be discussed but no official action taken without a quorum. If one third of members present request a vote on a particular matter, then a seventy percent approval of those present shall decide the question.
Exceptions are changes to the By Laws or Articles of Incorporation or Dissolution of the Foundation.
Such actions require an eighty percent approval of the entire membership to become enacted. Votes at Annual or Special Meetings may be cast by members attending the meeting. A member who will be absent from a meeting may cast votes by delivering a ballot of their potential votes on questions that may be decided at the meeting to the Convener of the Board. Questions of policy or operations may be referred to a membership referendum by the Board of Directors or by a petition signed by ten members or ten percent of the membership, whichever is less. The board of directors shall supervise such referenda and shall insure that questions are fairly presented, with adequate space given to opposing viewpoints.
