What is legal about HOA Board Email communication?

Boards are well advised to seek legal counsel in this situation. Unfortunately, laws have not caught up with technology.

An owner who does not use e-mail, including a board member, can claim an action against a board that conducts business by e-mail.

A thoughtful board will lay a transparent foundation for conducting some communication by e-mail among its members, and will invite owners interested in knowing about board business to receive copies of these communications.

Owners may not contribute until asked, as they are not able to contribute at board meetings until asked.
