Does everyone need to be re-nominated, or > would inaction leave the same board in place? Bylaws 4.3 says: The term of office of each of the Directors shall be one (1) year, and thereafter until his successor has been elected. I read that as saying that membership continues even without an election. I think this was put into place to deal with AGMs at varying times of year, so that the Board wouldn't come apart with the AGM still months away. 4.2 on the other hand says that persons who are elected SHALL be directors. There is no SHALL saying we have to elect any, however. Normally elections involve nominations, but if there are no floor nominations, the existing slate can stand nominated by unanimous consent: almost anything can be done by unanimous consent.
