"The Board of Directors shall have the control and management of the
affairs and business of this organization. Such Board of Directors shall
only act in the name of the organization when it shall be regularly
convened by its chairman after due notice to all the directors of such
meeting."

If the President sends a notice to the board that for the next week, a
meeting will be taking place in spi-board at lists.spi-inc.org, that is
notice, that is meeting, that meets the requirements of article 7
paragraph 3.

I don't see that as blocking it.
