<br>
This is what we discussed in our conference call. For the one, official meeting that the board has each year, everyone has to be “present” and able to hear each other at the same time. This is a statutory requirement in Missouri (and most states). This meeting
could be accomplished at the annual convention with anyone unable to attend in person calling in. For that official meeting, it cannot be done via chat room. Other, unofficial meetings can be held via the chat room. However, any “votes” should be memorialized
in a separate, written resolution signed by the board of directors.</span></li><li class="m_-8101651250497308177m_1459422407851733783x_MsoNormal" style="color:#1f497d"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Our current rules of governance has a purpose and responsibility section, can we include something like this in Article I?</span></li></ol>

all votes be invalid in IRC?<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d">This is what we discussed in our conference call. For the one, official meeting that the board has each year, everyone has to be “present” and able to hear each other at the same
time. This is a statutory requirement in Missouri (and most states). This meeting could be accomplished at the annual convention with anyone unable to attend in person calling in. For that official meeting, it cannot be done via chat room. Other, unofficial
meetings can be held via the chat room. However, any “votes” should be memorialized in a separate, written resolution signed by the board of directors.</span></li><li class="m_-8101651250497308177m_1459422407851733783x_MsoNormal">Our current rules of governance has a purpose and responsibility section, can we include something like this in Article I?</li></ol>
