We now have at least a partial understanding of the
reason the fundraising
campaign was extended, which is found in the minutes of the Board of
Trustees meeting of November 2014.[1]
"Board members asked Lila and Lisa to consider and evaluate ways to raise
additional revenue to increase the reserve for future needs of the
organization and movement, including the possibility of adjustments in
fundraising methods as appropriate. "

I still don't understand how "asking" to "consider and evaluate"
can
override an explicit board resolution which established very different
targets. What steps were taken exactly, which legally authorised such
increase in income?
