Q: Under Alabama Code 10A, is the Board of Directors of a Non-Profit Corporation legally able to vote by email? Explain.
If the answer is no, please explain why it would not be allowed, what the issues would potentially be with email voting. Likewise, if the code does allow email voting, please explain which subsections can be interpreted as such, and what the protocol for such voting would be, i.e., how would a quorum be established; would 10 days' notice to the Directors of the Board as to the nature of the vote be required along with a date set for the email voting to take place; would opportunity for discussion by group email regarding said vote need to be expressly stated; would all Directors need to be in copy of all subsequent email correspondence before the vote to ensure fair and open discussion did occur; would a signed email transcription (signed electronically or manually) by each Director representing a quorum be required in place of minutes; are there other considerations that apply to in-person meetings that need to be repilcated for email votes?
