Jury duty?

Since we plan to live in both Taiwan and America when I retire, I was curious as to what happens if I get a Jury Duty invitation in the mail while we're in Taiwan. On the back of the invitation, it says that if you are selected and don't show up, they could issue a warrant.

While browsing around the net, I did come across the following:

Q: What should American Citizens do when they receive notice of jury duty in the United States?

A: Contact your state district court. If you live abroad and your court requires a notarized Affidavit explaining why you cannot fulfill the duty, you may come to AIT by appointment for this service. The standard notary fee will be charged.
