(Following approval by the Board) - "The applicant will receive a letter granting the applicant all privileges of the Club, except the right to vote. Thirty (30) days following the publication of the Review magazine in which the name of the applicant is listed, the applicant will be granted the right to vote, provided no written objection has been filed with the Membership Chairman. If an objection is filed, a hold will be placed on such person's application pending expeditious investigation and a report will be submitted within forty-five (45) days to the Board of Directors by the Membership Chairman, for appropriate action by the Board." A. Looks like the process is not yet complete and that up to 30 days after his name is published, written objections can be filed. This then places the membership on hold and triggers an investigation, to be concluded within 45 days, then it goes back to the board of directors for appropriate action. That action is not specified and seems to be left open to the discretion of the board. SO, does that mean that following the meeting where he was voted in, his name is then published and for 30 days after the Review date, objections can be filed.....
