My understanding is that for an email vote you need votes from all board 
members, even if they were absent at the meeting to which the motions 
relate. This is the practice I have seen in the past, and fits with 
clause 4.6 of our bylaws if you consider that any email vote is outside 
of the context of a meeting:

"""
Section 4.6. Action Without a Meeting. Any action required or permitted 
to be taken at a meeting of the Board of Directors or of any committee 
thereof may be taken without a meeting if all the members of the board 
or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing or by 
electronic transmission, and such writing or electronic transmission is 
filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the board or committee. 
Such consent shall have the same effect as a unanimous vote.
