Special meeting called to approve minutes of regular meeting

[paulmcclintock]

RONR says special meetings don't approve minutes. Is that a general rule that can be superseded by the specific rule that what is listed in the call is to be transacted, thus allowing a special meeting to be called specifically to approve minutes?

I think that the last time this question popped up, we all agreed:

The rule is, special meetings do not approve minutes automatically -- it must be included in the call-to-meeting, since it is business of the organization, and special meetings only transact the business listed in the call-to-meeting.

It would logically incoherent to argue that, "Even if included in the call-to-meeting of a special meeting, no minutes are allowed to be approved, because of RONR's prohibition, viz., special meetings do not approve minutes."
