A resolution in writing signed by each director member will be effective as long as the constitutional documents do not preclude this approach, however we advise that the articles are drafted to expressly permit this type of decision-making.
Most board resolutions only require a simple majority of the company directors to pass, known as an ordinary resolution. Decisions that are considered to be more important for the company may need to be passed by a larger majority of the directors (usually at least 75%). These are known as special resolutions.
You can expect to fill out the following when completing your resolution of the board of directors: Date, time, and location of the meeting. Title that describes the board's decision to be made. Statement of majority or unanimous decision.
A board of directors resolution (also called a “board resolution”) is the result of a director vote authorizing a specific business action. Major decisions by the board of directors should always be formally documented in writing and added to the corporate record.
Once the meeting has been completed and all necessary decisions have been approved, all present directors will sign the resolution, which makes the decisions official. Alternatively, during meetings, directors can record decisions (i.e., resolutions) directly in the Meeting Minutes.
The Board Resolution is duly signed by the directors present in the meeting. There is no requirement that a Board Resolution be notarized. However, when Board Resolutions are used as evidence in court trials, notarization gives more credence to the document.
It must be signed by two directors with the rubber seal/stamp of the company with a quorum at a Board Meeting. In the case of a one person company, the board resolution for the opening of a bank account can be signed by the sole director and shareholders.

Under Robert's Rules of Order, the board may approve minutes that do not come up for review quarterly. Since annual meetings are yearly, not quarterly, the board can approve the minutes. "Minutes of one annual meeting should not be held for action until the next one a year later." (RONR 12th ed.) .
