The members remain members of the board until their resignations are accepted by the body empowered to fill the vacancies. After that point, they have no say in the content of the minutes.

No.

The minutes are approved by those who are actually members of the board and present at the time that the minutes come up for approval. It does not matter whether some, all, or none of them were present at the meeting in question, nor whether other people were.

The members have the obligation not to abandon their duties until the resignation is effective or until there has been a reasonable opportunity for the resignation to be accepted, RONR (10th ed.), p. 279, ll. 17-20.
