GOVERNANCE STRUCTURES

Either House may originate and propose legislation, and all acts of the Canon Law and the Canon Law regarding the essence of it’s nomenclature shall be adopted and be authenticated by both Houses. The apply on a rule that will affect the totality of the New Life Catholic Ministry community. Changing fundamentally the structure of this organization.

Canon Law 003.0.2 In normal time the two Houses or Boards govern their own business. The Board of Executive Elders (House of Bishops) regards on all religious and spiritual matters. And the Board of Elders Advisers and Accountability regards on all temporal matter.

Canon Law 003.0.3 In some case both Boards will be involved, example choosing a new minister, the request is done by any of the Boards A) but the search, publicity and
hiring is done by the Board of Elders, B) The Training, ordination and posting is done by the House of Bishops.

Canon Law 004.4 Due to distance the House of Bishops may be meet via electronic communications for their routine business.

Annex 04
Telephone recording laws in Canada

D) THE ONLY PHONE RECORDING WILL BE FOR BOARD MEETING IF WE CANNOT SET A VIDEO CONFERENCE

Board Meetings by Phone
A member can attend by phone only twice per year, and new board members can attend by
phone only after they’ve been to at least three meetings in person.

Nonprofit Boards Vote By Email
Can nonprofit boards legally vote by email? The short answer: Yes, only if the vote is
consistent with the requirements for unanimous written consent — that is, when the vote is
unanimous and in writing.

For boards to take action without meeting by written consent. Typically, this involves mailing
the proposed action to each board member, and having each sign and return the written action to the board secretary. Once all the signed consents are received, the action taken is just as valid as if it had been taken at a meeting.

An email to each director detailing the proposed action, and an email reply from each director with his or her vote. In a “unanimous written consent” state, if all directors vote the same way, the action is taken.

An email should be treated the same as a signed written consent. With a signed written consent, the signature gives us some assurance that the director actually consented. With an email without a signature, the consent could have been sent by anyone with access to the board member’s email account. We cannot accept an email that simply states “Yes” in response. It have to be sign in ink in an other color of the document We need to have each board member sign the written consent and return the signed copy back to the board secretary — either by postal mail, by returning a scan of the signed consent via email, faxing back a signed copy, or using an authenticated electronic signature. But lawyers prefer that all of the original signed consents be included in the board minute book as evidence that the action was properly taken.
