Unless a greater number is required, a majority of the voting interest cast at a quorate meeting approves an action. An absentee ballot must be delivered promptly on a request made at least 3 days before the meeting. A vote-without-meeting ballot must give at least 7 days to return it. A proxy is valid only for that meeting and any recess, and is revocable.
