Often your bylaws will state that a Notice is necessary. The Notice has to be given at THE previous meeting. The previous meeting had to have had the prescribed quorum and had to have been properly called.

You will also often find reference to a requirement of the "Entire Membership". This means that if a decision is to be made by a board, "Entire Membership" refers to membership of the board. If a decision is to be made by a convention of delegates, "Entire Membership" refers to membership of the delegates, etc.
