Simple answer. Yes. 

More complex answer. For a bricks and mortar company, the AGM would 
be held with voters present in the room, so notice of the AGM and record
date would be the same.

Assembling in New Mexico or voting for trustees in IRC is inconvenient 
for a lot of members, so we have an extended electronic election.  The 
10-60 days notice applies to the recording date too but its a set of 
different dates as the voting is moved out of the AGM. The vote for 
trustees formally being a part of the AGM.

It follows that this applies to all votes of members for all meetings of
members where the voting and meeting are decoupled in this way.
