BayLisa Board Follies

Sat Feb 5 17:06:32 PST 2005

These are the facts, as I see 'em, of stuff that's happened since the 
board's last meeting on Thursday.

Mark Langston, until recently a board member of BayLisa, wanted to hold 
an email "board meeting" about a motion to censure unspecified persons.

Rick pointed out, quite correctly, that such a meeting could not occur 
via email per the bylaws. He offered to set up some sort of conference 
call.

Mark Langston resigned.

Jim volunteered conference call facilities for a meeting tomorrow night 
at 8 p.m.

Mark Langston seconded

I pointed out that three board members or the president would need to 
call the meeting. So far, I saw one.

Jennifer said that she didn't accept Mark's resignation; regardless, 
Mark resigned in writing (and yes, Jennifer, there is case law on this, 
don't make me start spewing it). Further, she said that she was calling 
the meeting.

I said that there'd need to be three directors plus, if he wished to 
join, Mark, would be needed for a quorum. I didn't see a quorum.

Jennifer said that Elizabeth was also on the board, which is false. No 
vote was called about whether or not Elizabeth should be added.

Mark withdrew his resignation.

I said that we could discuss that at the next regular meeting (per the 
bylaws, that's the correct procedure).

Mark accused me of challenging Jennifer's authority.

If Jennifer wanted her behavior to be above reproach, she would exclude 
Mark from any calculations of quorum or voting as his status is still 
resigned per the bylaws.
