[caveat emptor]

flyingsurfer, what complaint are you talking about? What's the complaint about? I take it, that it has to do with the firing of the last/new office lady Mermaid referenced.
You state that, "The complainants wanted to go before the board to come to an agreement. Which is contrary to the bylaws." The people who have a complaint (again, what is it about and who is involved) should try to resolve it before the board before arbitration. First, it sounds like a possible employee issue and if so, that should be resolved before the BOD. And, I mean the full BOD. The bylaws do not dis-allow that action by the employees, therefore, it is allowed.
Article XV in the bylaws concerning arbitration is to be used as a last resort if a mutually agreeable resolution can not be found by the BOD and the employee/employees. Also, notice that in that bylaw, it states in part, "...the PARTIES shall pursue dispute resolution by arbitration...". That means that both the parties involved have to pursue arbitration unlike what is happening with the current arbitration effort by certain members of the association. In any event, the BOD HAS to pursue arbitration AND front the costs. Which they did not. They ignored the members because of arrogance and ignorance.
