No worries, but again a legally entity does not require a |

board/trustees, but officers. If the charter did not make provisions for |
9 |
officers, then that could be the source of the problem :) |

I think you might mean the articles of incorporation vs charter? The |
12 |
articles seem to state a requirement of 3. But then says it shall be |
13 |
fixed by the ByLaws, which never existed till 2008. Or at least approved |
14 |
ByLaws ;) |

"The number of trustees of the Corporation shall be not less than three |
17 |
or more than twenty-one. The initial Board of Trustees shall consist of |
18 |
thirteen persons. Thereafter, the Board of Trustees shall consist of |
19 |
such number of persons, not Less than three, as shall be fixed by the |
20 |
Bylaws. The initial Trustees who shall hold office until their |
21 |
successors shall take office, are as follows:" |
