death, or disability, the vice-president authorized to exercise the authority of the

president; (2) The directors by action at a meeting, or a majority of the directors acting without

such meetings. (B) If so provided in the articles or the regulations, meetings of voting members may

be held either within or without this state or solely by means of authorized communications

equipment. (C) Unless the articles or regulations provide otherwise, the voting members and proxyholders

who are not physically present at a meeting of voting members may attend the meeting

by the use of authorized communications equipment that enables the voting members

and proxyholders an opportunity to participate in the meeting and to vote on matters

submitted to the voting members, including an opportunity to read or hear the proceedings

of the meeting, participate in the proceedings, and contemporaneously communicate

with the persons who are physically present at the meeting.  Any voting member who uses authorized communications equipment under this division

is deemed to be present in person at the meeting whether the meeting is held at a

designated place or solely by means of authorized communications equipment.  The directors may adopt procedures and guidelines for the use of authorized communications

equipment in connection with a meeting of voting members to permit the corporation

to verify that a person is a voting member or proxyholder and to maintain a record

of any vote or other action taken at the meeting.
