I have a PDF and haven't figured out how to
get it posted. I did send it to Will when I first got it and hoped he would post it as a resource to the board.
Here are the basics...
"1.6 BOARD VOTING REQUIREMENTS
1.6.1 Quorum.
Except as provided under applicable law, this Constitution or the Bylaws, two-thirds (2/3) of all Directors
present at a meeting of the Board shall constitute a quorum of the Board; provided that, in the case of
any matter requiring the affirmative vote of more than two-thirds (2/3) of all Directors present, a quorum
shall only exist if at least that number of Directors equal to such required vote is present.
1.6.2 Required Vote.
Each Director shall be entitled to one vote each. Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Bylaws, if
a quorum is present when a vote of the Directors is taken, the affirmative vote of a majority of all Directors
present for such vote shall be an act of the Board.
For the avoidance of doubt, all references in this Constitution or the Bylaws to the affirmative vote of:
(a) a majority or two-thirds (2/3) of all “Directors present”, shall mean a majority or two-thirds (2/3)
of all the Directors who are present at a Board meeting at which a quorum exists;
(b) two-thirds (2/3) of all the Directors, shall mean two-thirds (2/3) of all the Directors of the Board,
even if one or more of such Directors is not present for such vote (“Absolute Two-Thirds Matters”);
and
(c) three-fourths (3/4) of all the Directors, shall mean three-fourths (3/4) of all the Directors of the
Board, even if one or more of such Directors is not present for such vote (“Absolute Three-Fourths
Matters”).
The Absolute Two-Thirds Matters are as follows: (i) any amendment to Article 2.5 of the Bylaws
(Finances), (ii) selecting or changing the location of the Conference office, (iii) entering into or amending
any Material Media Rights Agreement (as defined in Section 2.3.1(q)), (iv) the appointment, extension of
the term, or removal of the Commissioner or the other matters set forth in Section 1.5.2.1.1, and (v) the
initiation of any material litigation involving the Conference (but not, for clarity, the settlement of any
litigation involving the Conference, which requires the affirmative vote of a majority of all Directors
present for such vote).
The Absolute Three-Fourths Matters are as follows: (i) the admission of new Members to the Conference
pursuant to Section 1.4.3, (ii) the expulsion, suspension or probation of a Member pursuant to Section
1.4.4, (iii) any amendment of this Constitution, (iv) any amendment of the Bylaws (except amendments
to Article 2.5), and (v) waiver of notice or other required process for a Board meeting pursuant to Section
1.5.1.5.2.
1.6.3 Constitution and Bylaws Amendments.
The initial draft of any proposed amendment to this Constitution or the Bylaws shall be submitted in
writing to the Directors or their designees at least four weeks before the Board meeting at which such
amendment shall be considered. Revised drafts reflecting material comments received within 14 days
shall be sent to the Directors at least 10 days before the meeting; provided that motions for further
amendments may be considered and adopted by the requisite vote at the meeting."
