A question at a board meeting is decided by a majority of the votes of the members present.
Each member present at the meeting has a vote on each question to be decided and, if the votes are equal, the member presiding also has a casting vote.
A member present at the meeting who abstains from voting is taken to have voted for the negative.
The board may hold meetings, or allow members to take part in its meetings, by using any technology that reasonably allows members to hear and take part in discussions as they happen.

A resolution is validly made by the board, even if it is not passed at a board meeting, if—
notice of the resolution is given under procedures approved by the board; and
a majority of the board members gives written agreement to the resolution.
