Most furry cons are set up in the former manner. If you check their bylaws (as I have), most furry cons are set up with the chairman serving at the leisure of the board, and public meetings and elections and all that are set up as occuring in the bylaws.
BUT, they don't actually do that, and thus you have situations where the board is "fired" by the chair. If the board of any of these cons where this happened actually took the chair to court, they would win. It might also be illegal when the board "dissolves" as a result of that action. It's probably also illegal if the chair takes the money/assets and moves it without a board vote.
That said, so many furry cons/orgs don't have any intention of following their bylaws and basically just set up the corporations cause someone says it's a good idea.
I personally cannot wait for a day where the board , having been "released" by the conchair, sues the absolute hell out of the conchair and votes in a new one.
Actually, you're wrong.
