I would really consider it a very positive thing to limit board meetings
to four times a year.

Yeah, I really don't see any value to meeting more often than quarterly.
I think resp:54 points out that the bylaws are clearly out of date (if
not out of touch) in some sections. FtF meetings should not be required
today.

If the Board can communicate via e-mail to take care of any issues that
come up between meetings, then quarterly is fine. If not and we can't
get any answers via e-mail, then FTF (and phone) is about the only way.
So, if y'all want to avoid FTF meetings, answer your e-mails :)
When things are falling apart though, I expect the Board to step up and
meet as often as necessary to get issues resolved. We could be out of
business at some time in the future within one quarter and it would be
good to know if that were happening and what to do about it.

There are real problems with board members who can't answer their emails
in a timely fashion. Obviously, you can always call an emergency meeting
or set one up earlier if it's necessary and something major comes up,
but I would say as a general rule quarterly should be fine.

Also, "the board shall meet" language does not set an upper limit on
the number of meetings. It just states the minimum requirement for
meetings. I would be extremely surprised if the by-laws prevent the
board from doing what is necessary to keep the system operating by
preventing them from meeting when then deem necessary.

The purpose of face-to-face meetings is to allow people not on the board to
attend, monitor and contribute. Meetings over the telephone or in e-mail
cannot be attended by others. (Note that many states have "sunshine laws"
specifically banning such meetings for public commissions and boards. The
laws do not apply to us, but the philosophy behind them does.)
Let's hold off on amending the bylaws until we know that grex is going to
survive the year. I'm still not convinced it will.

Generally, we don't need to change by-laws, but if we want, for example,
to reduce the cost of a membership, then we'll need to make a change
(assuming enough members can vote). But right now, we don't need to.
As for the number of meetings, it allows "emergency" meetings any time
beyond the bimonthly meetings. So, we can meet as often as we want or
need to.

Well, let me say a few things. First, I just don't think I'll
realistically be able to call into any meetings until I get back from
Afghanistan. (Though that would really be quite something, if you ask
me.) That said, I wouldn't be offended if, for the good of the
corporation, folks decided to remove me from the board. I mean, from my
perspective, there's just really nothing to be offended about; it's
simply a matter of practicality.
If it would help, I'd offer up my resignation, as long as it was
understood to come with no animosity towards Grex. That is, I wouldn't
want it to be viewed as giving up on the organization, just giving a
chance for others with more time on their hands to step up and take my
place.
