The Proxy Ballot Vote results are listed below and will allow CCIDC to change
from its current corporate status of a 501(c)(6) [not-for-profit] to a new corporate status of a 501(c)(3) [charitable]
as required by the new legislation that changed Section 5800, Interior Designers, of the California Business and Professions Code . This will also allow

Bylaw excerpts relative to “Special Meeting” and written Proxy vote.
2.3
Written Ballot of Members
A. Whenever the members are to vote for directors or on any proposal for action which could be taken at any regular or special meeting of members, the members may, in
the discretion of the board of directors, vote by written ballot without a meeting pursuant to this section of the bylaws. Any election of directors must be by written ballot.
B. A written
ballot shall be mailed to every member entitled to vote on the matter pursuant to paragraph B of Section 2.6 of the bylaws.
C. The written ballot shall set forth the time by which the ballot must
be received in order to be counted and the minimum number of written ballots which must be returned to meet the quorum of approval requirement.
The written ballot for election of directors must provide a space for the member to designate his/her desired class affiliation, i.e., ASID, IBD, etc.
D. If the vote is for other than directors, the written ballot shall set forth
1. The proposal to be voted on, and for this purpose, related proposals may be
grouped as a single proposal for the written ballot.
2. Offer the member a choice between approval and disapproval on each such
proposal.
3. Specify that the proposal must be approved by a majority of the written
ballots voting on the proposal, provided that sufficient written ballots are returned to meet the quorum requirements or specify some greater vote as may be required by applicable law or by the
articles of incorporation or bylaws.
E. Approval by written ballot shall be valid only when the number of votes cast by ballot
within the time period specified equals or exceeds the quorum required to be present at a meeting authorizing the action, and the number of approvals equals or exceeds the number of votes that would be
required for approval at a meeting at which the total number of votes cast was the same as the number of votes cast by ballot.
2.9 Quorum for Meeting of Members
A. Except as
otherwise ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction, one-third of the total number of members entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of members.
B. Except where a greater vote is required by the articles of incorporation, bylaws, or applicable law, and except for the election of directors, if a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of a
majority of the members represented at the meeting, entitled to vote, and voting on any matter shall be the act of the members.
