1 Just to back up for a moment.

3 The more I read through this section, multiple passes. It really seems
4 more like Foundation meetings, than meetings of members. In some places
5 where it mentions members, foundation could be swapped out. In other
6 places, foundation added as a modifier to members.

8 I just don't see when members are ever gathering to meet. Normally it's
9 the board, or officers who meet. This seems moot, but in subsequent
10 articles it says membership approval, revocation, etc must be decided on
11 by a vote of the members. I assume during a meeting.
12
13 Which that is horribly slow if nothing else. Not to mention our
14 voting/election process is not tied to meetings. The only ones who vote
15 during a meeting are the board members and offices.
16
17 Sure technical both board members and officers are foundation members.
18 But this section is just worded very oddly. I would prefer this article
19 be called Foundation Meetings, instead of member meetings.
