A requirement that members must be present at the nomination meeting
in order to be nominated for office might be considered unreasonable in
certain circumstances; for example, in the absence of a provision for an
alternative method under which a member who is unavoidably absent from
the nomination meeting may be nominated, such a restriction might be
regarded as inconsistent with the requirement in section 401(e) that
there be a reasonable opportunity to nominate and to be a candidate.
