No if this was a municipal issue that would be different - but under RR a closed session is a closed session? No one should be live streaming that out to the general membership or what was the point of going into closed session in the first place right?

see https://firstamendmentcoalition.org/2013/05/aa-councilmembers-texting-during-meeting-a-brown-act-violation/

The point here is this was a closed session for legal issues with all Directors present - no one outside of the Board should have been able to see, or hear what was being discussed.

Thank you both - an issue I suspect all entities dealing with electronic meetings will have to take a close look at their Codes of Conduct, Bylaws and Rules to address 😞 It does breach our current code in relation to disclosing legal discussions to an unauthorized person.

I know if this was a municipal governmental meeting this is not permitted at any time - but what about a 501(c)4? Is this a breach of trust and ethics?

A Special Meeting has been properly Noticed - what happens if a Board Member changes that in the Board folder and posts that to Social Media claiming it is the authorized version?

But our Bylaws say we must use the most recent edition? That section is from the 13th.? Notice of Meetings - ..."any member who wishes to give "previous notice" of a motion he or she intends to propose at that meeting may send the notice to you beforehand and you must include it in the call at the group's expense."

Not really Joshua - it goes to how to properly give notice of a Call for and publication of a Special Meeting.

I'm looking at Newly revised in brief 3rd edition: Notice of Meetings - ..."any member who wishes to give "previous notice" of a motion he or she intends to propose at theat meeting may send the notice to you beforehand and you must include it in the call at the group's expense. [RONR 12th ed.) 10.51

Can you confirm please that if 2 members call for a Special Meeting for a specific purpose, as our Bylaws allow, the Posting to the Members includes: That a Special Meeting has been called for Those Directors who called for it The specific purpose Date and time How to access by Zoom Do we have to include a notice that the meeting may go in to closed session?
