1. Meetings of the board may be held from time to time as provided in the articles or bylaws at any place within or without the state that the board may select or by any means described in subsection 2.
a. If the articles, bylaws, or board fail to select a place for a meeting, the meeting must be held at the principal executive office, unless the articles or bylaws provide otherwise.
b. The board may determine under subsection 2 that a meeting of the board shall be held solely by means of remote communication.
c. Any participation in a meeting by a means set forth in subsection 2 constitutes presence in person at the meeting.
2. Any meeting may be conducted:
a. Solely by one or more means of remote communication through which all of the directors may participate with each other during the meeting:
(1) If the notice required by subsection 3 is given for the meeting; and
(2) If the number of directors participating in the meeting is a quorum at a meeting.
b. By means of conference telephone or, if authorized by the board, by one or more other means of remote communication, in each case, through which the director, other directors so participating, and all directors physically present at the meeting may participate with each other during the meeting.
3. Unless the articles or bylaws provide for a different time period, a director may call a board meeting by giving at least ten days' notice or, in the case of organizational meetings pursuant to subsection 2 of section 10-19.1-30, at least three days' notice, to all directors of the date, time, and place of the meeting.
a. The notice need not state the purpose of the meeting unless the articles or bylaws require it.
b. Any notice to a director given under any provision of this chapter, the articles, or the bylaws by a form of electronic communication consented to by the director to whom the notice is given is effective when given.
c. Consent by a director to notice given by electronic communication may be given in writing or by authenticated electronic communication.
(1) Any consent so given may be relied upon until revoked by the director.
(2) However, no revocation affects the validity of any notice given before a receipt of revocation of the consent.
4. If the date, time, and place of a board meeting have been provided in the articles or bylaws, or announced at a previous meeting of the board, no notice is required. Notice of an adjourned meeting need not be given other than by announcement at the meeting at which adjournment is taken.
5. A director may waive notice of a meeting of the board. A waiver of notice by a director entitled to notice is effective whether given before, at, or after the meeting, and whether given in writing, by authenticated electronic communication, or by attendance. Attendance by a director at a meeting is a waiver of notice of that meeting, except when the director objects at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened and does not participate in the meeting after the objection.
