EditARTICLE 7 OTHER COMMITTEES
7.1 Board Committees. The Board may create one or more committees (other than the Architectural Committee described in Section 5.10 of the Declaration and Article 6 above) and appoint members of the Board to serve on them. Each committee shall have one or more members and each member of a committee shall serve at the pleasure of the entire Board. The creation of a committee and appointment of members of the Board to the committee must be approved by the greater of: (a) a majority of all the directors in office when the action is taken; or (b) the number of directors required by Section 3.9 above to take action. The provisions of these Bylaws governing meetings, action without meetings and notice, waiver of notice, quorum and voting requirements of the Board shall also apply to committees of the Board and their members. Each committee of the Board may exercise the authority of the Board to the extent specified by the Board, except that a committee shall not take any of the following actions: (a) authorize distributions; (b) fill vacancies on the Board or any of its committees; (c) adopt, amend or repeal these Bylaws; and (d) fix the compensation of directors for serving on the Board or any committee or fix the compensation of any officer serving the Board. The Board may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee who may replace any absent member at any meeting of the committee.
7.2 Advisory Committees. The Board may appoint committees consisting of members and/or non-members of the Board to advise the Board and to perform such tasks as the Board deems necessary or desirable. Such advisory committee shall not have the power to exercise any authority of the Board. Except for any Architectural Committee as may be formed pursuant to Section 5.10 of the Declaration and Article 6 of these Bylaws, any Board committee that includes persons in its membership that are not also members of the Board shall automatically be deemed advisory in nature.
