The current bylaws state that they can be changed only on meetings and special meetings, given 10 days notice in advance. I assume this 10 day period is followed etc, but the point is here the meeting thing. If I look back in these (old) bylaws, to the section meetings, it states that a resolution with all signatures of the board members on it has the same force as a meeting. (I am no lawyer, and do not know if the same goes for bylaw alterations) Maybe it would be good, for the record, to ask Frieda to vote on this resolution after all to get straight with this? (Or is this not needed, as I missed something?)
The answer to your question is, it's not needed. The Board restructuring was approved at the April meeting pursuant to the Bylaws, and the new Bylaws language was drafted per the instructions of the Board, based on their decision at the April meeting.
