Uhm, aren't the bylaws explicit that the secretary and treasurer must be directors?

Re: [Council] Board minutes for meeting on November 3rd, 2012
 

No, any member of the community can occupy these positions if appointed by the Board. Maybe the wording is not clear enough?

Re: [Council] Board minutes for meeting on November 3rd, 2012
 

The wording seems clear to me, except it says the complete opposite: "The (Chair|Secretary|Treasurer) shall be a Director selected by, and holding the office for the same term as, the Directors, subject to removal by the Board whenever in its judgment the best interests of the Foundation will be served thereby".

i remember a discussion probably on the by-laws thread where (most likely) Woody explained that those accessory functions could even be "hired in".
but maybe it was revised out... :confused:
