How many people on Grex's BoD have formally studied Michigan non-profit law?

Rane is so quaint. Honest answers: How many people on Grex's BoD have
studied Michigan non-profit law, formally or informally? Casually
discussed it? Thought fleetingly about maybe looking into it some
day? Felt the slightest twinge of guilt for not having done any of the
above?

Speakerphone meetings suck. Anytime someone physically in the room
speaks the phone speaker mutes, so the person on the other end never
gets a word in edgewise.

I am a non-local member of the BOD of m-net. I get my words in, don't worry.

Re #15: I've never seen a truely full-duplex speakerphone. If they exist I
bet Grex couldn't afford one.
Re #18: If someone who doesn't live near Washington is elected President,
they invariably move there, though. So the analogy would be to let someone
run for the Grex board as long as they moved to the Ann Arbor area if they
won. ;)

resp:17 :: Arbornet began allowing out-of-town board members when they
ran out of locals willing to serve on the board, and after the board size
had already been contracted at least once.

There's an amendment procedure specified in the bylaws. Basically,
any member of Grex can propose an amendment; there's a discussion
period in Coop; then an online vote. So the simple answer to why
this particular bylaw has never been amended is that no Grex member
has ever proposed that it be amended.
Rane raises an interesting point in #11. Depending on how one
interprets "face-to-face", it may be possible to allow non-local
board members without any change to the bylaws.
In any case, however, the policy followed should reflect what the
members want.

(#25 slipped. I suggest that mynxcat calm down and note that if folks
don't like a specific policy, there are procedures for getting it
changed.)

I think jp2 brought it up in coop, once. You might look for the discussion
there to see what concerns were raised.

Re #28: As I noted in #26, nobody's ever proposed that the "face-to-face"
provision be amended. I'll also repeat that any member of Grex can
propose an amendement at any time.
This item should be linked to Coop.

jp2 had zero chance of winning, though, so I don't know how
seriously anyone took it. mynxcat would definitely have a chance of
winning, so maybe this is a good time to revisit it.

At least remmers caught it. A telephone presence at a board meeting IS
"face-to-face", because Michigan law says it is.
(Not knowing this is a consequence of md's observation in #13. It is
useful to know Michigan corporate law if one is trying to run a
Michigan corporation.)
