[arin-discuss] No quorum in last election

[Mike Lieberman]

John,
	Thanks for that input. Can you explain why the chair of the board
stated otherwise in an email a few days ago? I have been following the
thread, including the discussion of 990 members who might be in bankruptcy
(meaningless) and discussions of sub-paragraphs where quorum is defined and
where it is not. Your post states that all such previous statements -
including from ARIN's on board are wrong.
	I have now gone to the by-laws and read them. My only question is -
why has so much time been spend on this thread when the by-laws are indeed
as you stated and so clearly not what was being argued (on both sides)?

Mike -
 
   Per ARIN's Bylaws, there is no meeting for election of directors, as it
   is not required per Virginia law.   The full membership participates in
   the election via electronic ballot over a seven day period, as stated in
   ARIN's bylaws.  There is no quorum requirement stated in the Bylaws.
