I think that this is unfair. Did you specifically tell the secretary of
the meeting about your strong feelings? Did you confirm that your voice
of dissent had been heard? If it wasn't heard (as was clearly the case
with the board members), it seems unreasonable to blame this on the noise.

The legal risk doesn't change. You're on the board. It's the same issue,
just simply a single round of indirection later. The lease may infact
require N member signatures anyway.
