The most recent post by mermaid 53 is thought provoking and an excellent contribution to the debate.

However, I disagree with one small aspect of the consideration of adherence to the Bylaws:

"Would mandatory bylaw education for their 1st 3 months on the board help?"

The Bylaws are written in simple, clear declarative sentences that a high-school student can easily understand (I've tested this). There is no need for education. And they do not need to be memorized. Using the "search" feature on a computer brings one to the relevant citation.

The fact is that the transgressions that have been made are because Directors do not follow the Bylaws if the Bylaws counter what those Directors want to achieve.

Janet, you are partially correct on your last statement. The other side of this is that there are honest intelligent people who perceive our bylaws differently and are adamant that they are correct. We've all seen a number of problems occur over this past year alone. It'd be a good idea to tweak some of our bylaws to clarify those particular areas that seem to be problematic.
