A reconsideration of Member Meeting Articles

We haven't adhered to our Articles of Agreement's Member Meetings section strictly since we have existed, specifically the [ https://masspirates.org/wiki/Articles_of_Agreement#4.2_Form Form] and Time sections. Meetings have met weekly and bi-weekly (our current form) and not twice a year each over six weeks.

Rework them to:

  • Have a section on conferences (possible spring/fall, at least one a year)
  • Rework the member meetings to be on-line at least once a month
  • Set when elections for the pirate council is and that we can elect people at a conference or on-line by secret ballot
