Right, but that doesn't impact their current membership status, although |
| 22 |
it give them (and the rest of the members) grounds for at least an |
| 23 |
apology from the trustees for not acting in accordance with the bylaws. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
The next step would then be determining if the impact of the action by |
| 26 |
trustees is sufficient grounds to have resulted in other election |
| 27 |
results, which could be considered election tampering. Given the grounds |
| 28 |
in this case is actually lack of voting in previous election that likely |
| 29 |
helps the trustee's case that it had lesser impact on the election, |
| 30 |
although they have deprived the members of other aspects of being a |
| 31 |
foundation member. |
