Yup.  Unless that one has quite a travel budget.

There has certainly been discussion about amending it.  M-Net manages to have
non-local board members.

And we *still* can't manage to have monthly meetings.

Right.  Unless you agreed to come for the meetings.

I don't know about "fair"; it's about as fair as requiring US citizenship to
vote for our President.

Someone ran on a similar platform last year, BTW.

Grex is a Michigan corporation. That doesn't exclude non-residents from
being a board member, but they should still familiarize themselves with
Michigan non-profit corporate law. In any case, Michigan law permits board
meetings via "communications equipment" without requiring anything in the
bylaws to permit this. (450.2521) That law also states "participation in a
meeting pursuant to this subsection constitutes presence in person at the
meeting." Therefore, by legal definition, an electronic meeting IS
"face-to-face".

(The law, however, seems not to be updated to the computer age: it does
say "...by means of which all persons...can hear each other". That is
possible, of course, with conversion of text to speech, but I think with
unanimous consent, it would be acceptable to do it just on-line. I
certainly would not hesitate to agree to do so.)

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.

Even with full duplex?
