Our "organizational memory" for actions taken by the board is the 
wplug-board mailing list archive, and meeting minutes posted to the 
wiki.  There's actually a lot of good information there if you dig around.

The bylaws already give the board fairly flexible authority to act, most 
things don't require adopting a Special Rule of Order.  Thus, there 
haven't been many adopted.  The subject matter we were considering the 
other night (virtual meetings via audio conference) is, however, an area 
specifically called out in the bylaws as requiring a Special Rule of 
Order (http://www.wplug.org/wiki/ByLaws#8_MISCELLANEOUS_PROVISIONS - 
section 8.4).  Aside from the changes we adopted the other night, all of 
the existing Special Rules of Order were adopted by the first board that 
served under the current bylaws (in 2005).

The existing bylaws were adopted by the membership in 2005, and were 
amended in 2007 and 2011.
