(1)Except as provided in the articles or bylaws, action required or permitted by this chapter to be taken at a meeting of the members may be taken without a meeting if the action is taken by all the members entitled to vote on the action. The action must be evidenced by one or more consents in the form of a record bearing the date of execution and describing the action taken, executed by all the members entitled to vote on the action, and delivered to the membership corporation for inclusion in the minutes or filing with the corporate records.
(2)If not otherwise fixed under RCW 24.03A.400 or 24.03A.420 , the record date for determining members entitled to take action without a meeting is the date the first member executes the consent under subsection
(1)of this section. A consent shall not be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless, within sixty days after the earliest date appearing on a consent delivered to the membership corporation in the manner required by this section, consents executed by all members entitled to vote on the action are received by the corporation. A consent may be revoked by an executed notice in the form of a record to that effect received by the corporation before receipt by the corporation of unrevoked consents sufficient in number to take corporate action.
(3)A consent executed under this section has the same force and effect as a unanimous vote at a meeting duly called and held, and may be described as such.
(4)If this chapter, the articles, or the bylaws require that prior notice of any proposed action be given to members not entitled to vote on the action and the action is to be taken by consent of the members entitled to vote, then the membership corporation shall deliver to the members not entitled to vote notice of the proposed action at least ten days before taking the action by consent. The notice must contain or be accompanied by the same material that would have been required to be delivered to members not entitled to vote in a notice of meeting at which the proposed action would have been submitted to the members for action.
