FIAC Governance Policy

1. Resolutions proposed for consideration by the board of directors shall be posted on the FIAC Board Blog, as shall votes on resolutions by individual directors. Amendments to Bylaws must be approved by all voting members in order to be adopted via the blog. On other resolutions, if no representative of a given member association responds to a request for vote for seven days, the vote of that association shall default to "Abstain". However whenever a representative either presents a comment or simply requests more time via the blog, the timeout clock shall be reset for that association.
