Jim,
What this means is that there were mistakes made in interpretation of the by-laws and quorums not met in past meetings and to take care of these , a decision had to be made to take MAAST forward, otherwise a lot of decisions, which includes several BOD members positions would be null and void. The by-laws are being revised, re-written and clarified to eliminate these indiscretions in the future.

I hope this clarifies everything.
