Hi,
The presence of not fewer than four board members or not less than
two-thirds of all board members (whichever is a smaller number) shall
constitute a quorum and shall be necessary to conduct the business of
this organization.
May I ask how we reached the number 4? If we do not want a
rough consensus, and if getting work done is more important than
getting input from a reasonable majority of the board, shouldn't a
quorum requirement of the one, or the people present, allow us to
just swim thorough the agenda and gets loads accomplished? Isn't the
idea that we have a board to provide a wide talent set to add value
to the decision making process?
Why 4?
Why can't new board members not be appointed by email?
