Yes, that book was my bible for several months last year.  Very helpful
indeed.

I believe in the matter at hand, the individual had filled out a
membership application but had not completed the membership process.
I'm waiting for our secretary to confirm that.  If that's the case it's
easy enough to withdraw the application.

If a member hasn't paid dues for three months and hasn't made alternate
arrangements with the treasurer they're no longer considered a member in
good standing.

The incorporation documents and initial motions are only present in hard
copy AFAIK.  The bylaws do specify the initial board size though:

   Section 2. Number of Directors. The number of directors shall be not
   fewer than five (5) nor more than eleven (11), with the initial number
   of authorized directors to be five (5), unless otherwise authorized
   from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors.
