Ridecamp: Re: [RC] AERC By-Laws Changes

Bob,

I'm just reading what is stated one the instructions. As Johnt pointed out
there may be a conflict with CA corporate law in which case since the AERC
is incorporated they are bound by CA corporate law. The existing law in CA
is most likely the source of this number. But it states that a quorum is
1784 and if you want to argue it try Jerre Clark, Independent Ballot Counting
Service in Roseville, CA. I would, however, be very nice if someone from
the BOD would come on ridecamp and explain these issues. After all they do
want the bylaws passed I would assume. 

This is starting sound like a Florida election. Maybe we could send Kathrine
Harris to CA to count the votes.
