19 Simple answer. Yes.

21 More complex answer. For a bricks and mortar company, the AGM would
22 be held with voters present in the room, so notice of the AGM and record
23 date would be the same.
24
25 Assembling in New Mexico or voting for trustees in IRC is inconvenient
26 for a lot of members, so we have an extended electronic election. The
27 10-60 days notice applies to the recording date too but its a set of
28 different dates as the voting is moved out of the AGM. The vote for
29 trustees formally being a part of the AGM.
30
31 It follows that this applies to all votes of members for all meetings of
32 members where the voting and meeting are decoupled in this way.
