No.

RONR doesn't limit an organization as to where they can hold their meetings. Any limitations would need to be located in the bylaws.

There is no "two nominee" rule in RONR. There isn't even a "one nominee" rule.

Meetings can be held wherever the assembly (the members) want to hold them (while considering any locations already determined by the bylaws or other adopted rules . . . but even those are subject to change, as long as it's done properly). But the location of the meeting can't be decided by just "someone". As the saying goes, it takes a village.

If the meeting is properly called, and a quorum is present, then yes. If someone just gets some members together and says, "Let's have a meeting", then no.

The meeting at which officers are elected is usually specified in the bylaws, and if so, that's when it has to happen.
