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

Do the board members have to be 1 year? We currently have 3 year staggered terms.<br>

<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d">Yes, we can do staggered 3 year terms. Let me know what the current terms are for each director and I can make the change.</span><u></u><u></u></li><li class="MsoNormal">
Section 3.3 - is it essentially saying that the Board will elect the Board members? We found the language a little confusing.<u></u><u></u></li><li class="MsoNormal">
Section 3.3 has "Directors participating maysimu ltaneously hear each other during the meeting." Does this mean it has to be auditory (eg. Phone, Web Conferencing, or in person) or can we use IRC? Would all votes be invalid in IRC?<u></u><u></u></li><li class="MsoNormal">
Our current rules of governance has a purpose and responsibility section, can we include something like this in Article I?<u></u><u></u></li></ol>
