(1) are present in person or by proxy at the beginning of the meeting;
(2) have cast absentee ballots solicited in accordance with subdivision 3-110(c)(4) of this title that have been delivered to the secretary in a timely manner; or
(3) are present by any combination of subdivisions (1) and (2) of this subsection.
(b) Unless the bylaws specify a larger number, a quorum of the executive board is present for purposes of determining the validity of any action taken at a meeting of the executive board only if individuals entitled to cast 50 percent of the votes on that board are present at the time a vote regarding that action is taken. If a quorum is present when a vote is taken, the affirmative vote of a majority of the board members present is the act of the executive board unless a greater vote is required by the declaration or bylaws.
