  1. Waiver of Meeting Notices

 

  1. Waiver of Meeting Notices

    The Board discussed the timing of notice for the meetings occurring during the week.

    The General Counsel reminded the Board that there were two meetings that occurred on 14 March 2012 that each resulted in a short resolution. As there is a potential that the notice provided was improper and all voting members of the Board were not present, it was recommended that the Board affirmatively waive the notice for each of the meetings. In addition, the Board must waive notice for this meeting. In the absence of the waiver of notice, the Board could consider to undertake these resolutions at a later meeting.

    Chris Disspain moved and Mike Silber seconded the following resolution:

    Resolved, (2012.03.15.01) the Board hereby confirms that it waives the notice for the meeting.

    Resolved (2012.03.15.02), the Board hereby confirms that it waives any irregularity in notice for the first Special Meeting of the Board convened on 14 March 2012.

    Resolved (2012.03.15.03), the Board hereby confirms that it waives notice for the second Special Meeting of the Board convened on 14 March 2012.

    All Board members approved of Resolutions 2012.03.15.01, 2012.03.15.02 and 2012.03.15.03.
