Which of the following is required for a board meeting to take action on a resolution?

For a board meeting to take action on a resolution, a majority vote of those present is typically required. This means that as long as a majority of the directors attending the meeting vote in favor of the resolution, it can be approved.

This requirement is based on the principle that the board can make binding decisions as long as enough members are present to represent the interests of the corporation. A quorum, which is the minimum number of directors that must be present to conduct business, is essential; however, once a quorum is established, only the majority of those attending is needed for actions to be taken. This strikes a balance between allowing decisions to be made efficiently while ensuring that a sufficient number of directors are involved to reflect the governance of the corporation.

In contrast, a requirement for a majority vote of all directors or a unanimous vote of attendees would impose much stricter conditions for passing resolutions, which is generally not the case under typical corporate governance rules. A rule requiring a quorum plus additional votes is not the standard practice, as a simple majority of those present suffices once a quorum is established. Therefore, the requirement for action is effectively fulfilled by a majority of those who are actively participating in the meeting.
