12.5 Communication. All notices required or permitted to be given pursuant to the Bureau ’s Bylaws or under the Act, shall be deemed to have been given to the recipient in writing when: (a) sent by Electronic Transmission to the recipients’ email address on file with the Bureau or posting to a Platform; (b) delivered in person; (c) deposited in the U.S. mail, first class postage prepaid; or (d) delivered to an official depository or office of a nationally recognized overnight delivery service with delivery charges paid. Such notices may be addressed to: (a) the Bureau at its principal office; (b) any Member, Director, officer, or employee of the Bureau at his or her physical, email, telephonic and/or electronic address appearing on the books and records of, or previously used to communicate with such person by, the Bureau; and (c) to any other person or recipient, addressed to such physical, email, telephonic and/or electronic address as shall have been furnished to or ascertained by the Bureau for such person or recipient. An “Electronic Transmission” means any form of communication not directly involving the physical transmission of paper, that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved, and reviewed by a recipient thereof, and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such a recipient through an automated process, including, but not limited to, transmission by facsimile, electronic mail, text, or posting to an electronic network, Internet website, Intranet website, cloud-based shared drive or similar electronic platform (each a “Platform”) . The failure of the intended recipient to access the material communicated by Electronic Transmission because of equipment failure, service interruption or inability or neglect to access a Platform shall not invalidate any meeting or other action. For your convenience, we have included a redline of the current bylaws illustrating the proposed modifications. Feel free to contact us if you wish to further discuss this material.
