English term or phrase: not less than (30) days nor more than (15) days before the date of the meeting

Part of the Bylaws of a corporation based in the state of Pennsylvania (USA), specifically talking about the written notice of the annual shareholders meeting, notice to be delivered to shareholders within a certain time range. Original text:

"SECTION 4. Notice of Meeting. Written notice stating the place, day and hour of the meeting and, in case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall unless otherwise prescribed by statute, be delivered not less than (30) days nor more than (15) days before the date of the meeting, to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting."

The text as such has for me no translation problem. What has me confused is the fact that the time range is totally ilogical. For me to be logical it should be:
"...not more than (30) days nor less than (15) days before the date of the meeting".

What do you think?

Muchas gracias a todos por su excelente espíritu de cooperación y su altísima velocidad de respuesta.

Si se hace el diagrama de tiempo que sugerí en mi post addition, se encuentra que el texto original no es lógico. Por ello escogí tu respuesta Alfredo. Gracias.

Saludos, Tonchis

ni más de (30) días ni menos de (15) días antes de la fecha de la reunión

Explanation:
It's not illogical, you have to take into account that we are talking about an amount of days before a specific date, so the days countdown...

30 days before meeting
15 days before meeting
Meeting day

So whatever it is should be done in the 15 days interval between 30 and 15 days before the meeting.

This is they way I understand it
