[G] Using the word "email" makes sense today but may be a very short sighted verbiage for a document considered to be of such importance that it requires two readings over two meetings and a super majority (2/3 vote) for approval. In hopes of not making those changes on a regular basis, it might be better to refer to other voting methods such as electronic which is broad enough to encompass email and conference calls, etc.

I think this comment is about Article II, and it is a good suggestion. Changing the terminology is being considered.
