Does a Board President have the authority to make a motion and have it voted on by email?

EMail Motion - Ned in Toronto, Canada Mar 06, 2015

I am going to say "yes" providing that as a board, you have all agreed to email communication / voting and that email decisions are documented in your minutes.
We do it all the time as we just too darn busy to meet constantly and a number of issues come up regularly that we require a fast decision on.

So first things first: have you all agreed that due to time constraints etc. email voting is acceptable? If yes, then you are go to go. If no, suggest to your president that you first agree as a board to use email for board voting.
