More Sub-standard performance that will be excused and accepted by the membership.
Quite the axe to grind, eh? How is this "sub-standard"?
The by-laws are explicit -
1. There is a mandated "general" EC meeting, once a year. There must be a 20 day notice of the meeting. More than one can be scheduled.
2. Special meetings may be called, and require at least a 15 day notice. They are only for a specific stated purpose.
3. The President can designate any Special Meeting as an "Emergency", and skip the notice period.
There is no definition as to what an "Emergency" is - it is solely up to the President to determine.
Based on what has been published: The process to recruit, interview, complete background checks, negotiate, offer and accept for the ED position reached the end. Apparently all that was left was formal EC acceptance. So why string it out a couple more weeks? The by-laws offer a path to get things done quickly, so it was taken. The word used got some worked up, but the process was efficient and effective.
