Where does it says (in the current bylaws) that written objections must be received by AMSAT over they mail?
This is the only condition I can find: "...unless written objection is received from at least ten percent of the Members..."
In 2021 an email objection doesn't count as "written"? What if I were to stop by the office (when we had one) and drop an objection?
