In general, no. What do you have in mind?

See FAQ #20.

What is this issue? Why do you think notice is required?

RONR does not require a 10 day advance notice. Any such requirement would have to be found in your rules.

No, but the membership could order the board to provide the board minutes. The members have the right to review the minutes of the membership meetings.

... the members challenge of improprieties by the board... 

Perhaps the board members could be removed from office (see FAQ #20).

Can a previously passed motion which had a expiration date be  rescinded after that time period had past? 

No. If it had expired, there would be nothing to rescind.

Yes.

The answer to your question depends on your requirements in the bylaws. Do your bylaws say that someone can become a member simply by the board voting to approve that person?

I think if the chair explains the situation, there would be no objection to striking them out.

If your bylaws require the form to be approved by the board, then that should be done.

I think the chair could use unanimous consent in this case.

If the other amendments are not applicable, they should also be struck out.

Someone can be a member if the requirements in your bylaws are followed.

Guest Rachel, perhaps you could describe the issues for those unable to watch the video.

And see FAQ #10.

Ultimately it is up to your organization to interpret your bylaws and determine the effect of nominations being closed the month previous.

There are online versions of older editions of Roberts' Rules, but if your organization's parliamentary authority is the current edition, then a quote from an older version might very well be inaccurate. 

In addition, "executive session" is not in these outdated editions.

Here's a link to buy the right book.

A nominee could withdraw (see RONR 11th ed., p. 435, ll. 6-8).

Write-ins are allowed unless your bylaws prohibit them.

Discussion of law is beyond the scope of this forum.

RONR does not give any board member any authority to act as representing the board. Any such authority would have to be found in your rules.

Also, if the membership is electing the board members, then the president or the board cannot appoint them unless the bylaws authorize it.

Balloting must done if your bylaws require a ballot vote.
