## What do you think? Question:

![gray-area-condo.png](http://www.condoassociation.com/hs-fs/hubfs/gray-area-condo.png?width=320&name=gray-area-condo.png "gray-area-condo.png")Our first annual association meeting is in January. We have had some problems with "gray" areas in our declarations and by-laws.

Can we set up some association guidelines, as long as they do not contradict the original documents which clarify things like how the annual association meeting is run, etc.?
