1. Should the amount to be paid for services by a member be specified in the bylaws?
2. Can a member vote by absentee ballot if it's not stated in the bylaws?

A:

1. Yes. Dues, fees, fines, etc. should appear in the bylaws. They're often found in the article titled "Members." See RONR pp. 565-66.
2. No, unless some superior law (such as a state law) requires that absentee balloting be allowed. See RONR pp. 415-16.
