Board role records and the current Board page do not fully reconcile, and the bridge documentation is absent.

Approved May 13, 2025 minutes and the current Board page show different officer arrangements. The current archive does not contain the later minutes, written consents, election files, vacancy records, or appointment records needed to document every change.

Organization minutes and current Board page located; 2026 election/appointment records not located.

The evidence chain — in plain language

Read this first. Each step gives a fact the records support, the exact source excerpt, the limitation (what it does not prove), and the record still needed. The detailed tables and analysis below are the technical view.

The approved May 13, 2025 organization minutes and the current Board page describe different officer arrangements, and the records that would document each change are not in the archive.

    LimitOfficer roles can lawfully change by later Board action; a difference is a documentation gap, not proof that current titles are invalid.

What the records establish

  • A documentation gap between the approved May 13, 2025 minutes and the current Board page.
  • Located records support some terms; others lack the bridge documentation.

What remains unproven

  • This is a documentation gap—not proof that current titles or terms are invalid.
  • Officer roles may lawfully change through Board action, and vacancies may be filled under governing documents.
  • It is not claimed that titles existed earlier, were deliberately removed, and were restored.
