Hmm.. in California, at least, it would be hard to do this, since the
board meetings must be open to the public with minutes published
etc. If two board members happened to discuss it on the side, they'd
be required to publish a summary of their discussions. Mind you, not
all boards are good about complying with the Davis-Stirling Act
(which is what governs the sunshine and open meetings for Common
Interest Developments).
