6A Use of technology
Without limiting clause 6, a meeting of the Council may be called or held using any technology consented to by all the members of the Council.
The consent may be a standing one.
A member may only withdraw his or her consent a reasonable period before the meeting.
If the members are not all in attendance at one place and are holding a meeting using technology that permits each member to communicate with other members—
the members are, for the purpose of every provision of this Act and by-laws concerning meetings of the Council, taken to be assembled together at a meeting and to be present at that meeting, and
all proceedings of those members conducted in that manner are as valid and effective as if conducted at a meeting at which all of them were present.
