Normally this would refer to a meeting of all members;  including this 
reference suggests that a vote at other times, such as by a general vote 
on a Meta page, would not be valid.  Unfortunately, no provision has 
been made in the by-laws for such a meeting.  There is also nothing in 
the by-laws to define "Board of Directors".  The simple fact that the 
term was used suggests that it is at least something different from the 
Board of Trustees.
