In response to a question from Matt Garrett about holding email
meetings, I looked at the by-laws for meetings. As far as I can tell,
the monthly meetings contravene them, in that the meetings are supposed
to be quarterly and the rules for special meetings are not being
followed. We have a resolution to hold them monthly, 2002-05-07.wta,
but it only deals with the date and is not a resolution to alter the
by-laws. This is not to excuse missing called meetings. It's to point out that we might not be following our own rules. Maybe we should change them. Thanks Bruce ARTICLE FOUR - MEETINGThe annual board meeting of this organization shall be electronically held on the first day of July, each and every year except if such day be a legal holiday then and in that event the Board of Directors shall fix the day but it shall not be more than two weeks from the date fixed by these by-laws.
