What, if anything, do your by-laws say about it?
Nothing at all not even who makes out or sends to the 16 directors.Quote:

The Wisc. Statutes refer to such a corporation as a non-stock corporation.Quote:

(b) Notice of an annual or regular meeting includes a description of any matter or matters that must be approved by the members under s. 181.0723 (2), 181.0831, 181.0873 (4), 181.1003, 181.1021, 181.1105, 181.1202 or 181.1401.
181.0705(3)(c)
(c) Notice of a special meeting includes a description of the matter or matters for which the meeting is called.
181.0705(5)
(5) Notice of issues raised by members. When giving notice of an annual, regular or special meeting of members, a corporation shall give notice of a matter that a member intends to raise at the meeting if requested in writing to do so by a person entitled to call a special meeting and the request is received by the secretary or president of the corporation at least 10 days before the corporation gives notice of the meeting.
It depends on the matter being raised and what the bylaws say. For example, votes to change the bylaws require notice - and the bylaws should state that. But other issues may come out of committee meetings that could require board approval without prior notice. Obviously it's not good practice to spring a big issue on the board out of the blue, but I don't believe that it's illegal to do so - again as long as it doesn't violate your bylaws.
