I totally agree. What you had to do is only to send the agreed agenda.

Dear Mashhour,

Other than sending the "procedure", this message is not called for.

you are simply reiterating/imposing your personal views on the
members, and misrepresenting facts "the BoD is united in this".

We agreed yesterday on the meeting so we can stop these emails
going back and forth, and to get the members views on the needed
steps to tackle this case.  Steps that the board failed to take last
saturday and the one before it.

I'd say lets stop these emails, and wait to dicuss the issues on
saturday.
