The qualifications of Members, the manner of their admission to membership and termination of such membership, and voting by Members, shall be as set forth in Article IV of the Articles of Incorporation of the Association, the provisions of which Article IV of the Articles of Incorporation are incorporated herein by reference. B. A quorum of Member meetings shall consist of persons entitled to cast a majority of the Voting Interests of the entire Members. The joining of a Member in the action of a meeting by signing and concurring in the minutes thereof shall constitute the presence of such person for the purpose of a quorum. C. The Owners of a Unit owned by more than one (1) person or by a corporation, partnership or other entity shall be collectively entitled to the vote assigned to such Unit as set forth in the Declaration of Condominium and such Owners shall, in writing, designate an individual who shall be entitled to cast the vote on behalf of the Owners of such Unit of which he is a part until such authorization shall have been changed in writing and each vote shall have the weight of and be equivalent to each Owner's undivided percentage share of ownership. D. Except as specifically otherwise provided under Chapter 718 Florida Statutes, Owners may vote by general or limited proxy. Limited proxies and general proxies may be used to establish a quorum. Any proxy given shall be effective only for the specific meeting for which originally given and any lawfully adjourned meetings thereof. In no event shall any proxy be valid for a period longer than 90 days after the date of the first meeting for which it was given. Every proxy is revocable at any time at the pleasure of the Owner executing it. No Voting Interest or consent right allocated to a Unit owned by the Association shall be exercised or considered for any purpose, whether for a quorum, an election or otherwise. E. A Board of Director may submit in writing his or her agreement or disagreement with any action taken at a meeting that the Director did not attend, provided however, this agreement or disagreement may not be used as a vote for or against the action taken and may not be used for the purposes of creating a quorum. F. When any of the Board of Directors meet by telephone conference, those Directors attending by telephone conference may be counted toward obtaining a quorum and may vote by telephone. A telephone speaker must be used so that the conversation of those Directors attending by telephone may be heard by the Board of Directors attending in person as well as by any Owners present at a meeting. G. Approval or disapproval by an Owner upon any matters, whether or not the subject of an Association meeting, shall be by the same person who would cast the vote of such Owner if at an Association meeting. H. Except where otherwise required under the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation of the Association, these By-Laws, the Declaration of Condominium, or where the same may otherwise be required by law, the affirmative vote of the Owners of a majority of the Voting Interests represented at any duly called Member meeting at which a quorum is present shall be binding upon all the Members. 3
