My correction will be controversial.  The Annual meeting lasted 125 minutes. I was not a member of the board during the first 120 minutes (that these minutes document).  I only became a board member in the last 5 minutes of the meeting as the votes were tallied to elect me.  
1. Must I vote (yes, no, abstain)?

2. Can I state I was not on the board (the 120 minutes that these Minutes document), therefore cannot or should not vote on the Minutes.

I am trying to avoid a major controversy. 

For continuity purposes, I sat through our recent Annual Association Meeting (HOA). At the end of that meeting, HOA resident votes were tabulated and I was then elected to a three year term.  My three year term election was announced prior to the adjournment of the meeting.  Now the Minutes for the Annual Meeting are out.  Since I am now a member of the Board, am I allowed and/or required to vote for approval of those minutes? …. I have this issue because I disagree with a potion of the Minutes.

Thank you!!
