According to PARC bylaws; "All members in good standing shall have voting privileges and all the rights and privileges of membership. It doesn't clearly say that non-members can vote. To my memory, there never has been any challenge to any votes to have invoked a strict membership vote."  I do not believe that we have ever had a vote since I was President, that was ever challenged  to invoke a strict membership vote, but that could someday arise. 

I would strongly suggest that in the future, all votes be preceded with a reminder that only paid members are permitted to vote.

On a personal, a fair number of those at our meetings are not

paid members but they get to vote on club maters anyways.

In the past, all meetings have always been to open to the public. However, with the advent of Zoom meetings, I personally feel we need to proceed with some caution and create a policy to address all issues that have been mentioned.
