 city of New York, such authorization must be by a majority vote of those
 present at a joint meeting of the executive committees of  each  of  the

 quorum is present at such  meeting.  The  certificate  of  authorization
 shall  be  filed not later than four days after the last day to file the
 designating  petition,  certificate  of  nomination  or  certificate  of
 substitution  to  which  such  authorization relates. The certificate of
 authorization shall be signed and acknowledged by the presiding  officer
 and the secretary of the meeting at which such authorization was given.
