    so technically, it would be the most recent complete meeting, i.e. not an ongoing meeting, but already completed, but the most recent completed one that isn’t the one thats currently going on, because the one that’s currently happening isn’t complete yet, and the rule states that it must be complete. But once this currently happening meeting IS completed, it will become the most recent meeting.

    But how does the next meeting get defined?

        previous is still up to debate on semantical terms as to how you define the currently on going meeting. If it’s previous to the ongoing meeting that is happening at this very instance, than yeah sure, it’s the previous meeting. But if we’re only talking about meetings that have been completed, and have happened in the past, than previous could refer to the most recent complete meeting, or the one prior to that, depending on context. Which is not very explicitly clear.

      Any sane person in such a situation would just use the dates. “As you recall, during the April 23 meeting…”

          Given that the facilitator is insufficiently pedantic while reciting the minutes from the previous meeting, I would assume that the club has not existed for long enough that the year could be ambiguous.

          Those in attendance would be aware. The chair said “as you might recall,” implying that they were present at the previous meeting.

            oh true, how could i forget, some people may not have been present. So it also depends on who is at the meetings, and who wasn’t at the meetings, because it’s not going to be perfect lol.
