[amsat-bb] 2018 Corrected AMSAT Board of Directors Ballots

[Bruce]

The cost for electronic voting would still involve mailing out a ballot. That cannot be changed.  A corporation must abide by certain rules. We could hire a company to do electronic ballots which would be an additional charge. There is no one time setup and then less expensive year after year.  The companies that do this charge every year. I do not think we have the resources to do mail and electronic ballots at this time.  This has been discussed many times by the board.

The subject was brought up on the Tactical Planning Teleconference
Tuesday night.  The Board of Directors is aware of the issue of course,
and I'm sure there will be further consideration.  I'm sure that will be
a lively discussion.  I just wanted to point out where the process is
laid out and what has to be done to change it, for the purpose of the
discussion here.
