A common example of a UWC is a Unanimous Written Consent in Lieu of an Organizational Meeting, which is used to approve an entity's bylaws or Operating/Company Agreement, and other things requiring unanimous consent, without a formal meeting.
It is used to expedite the decision-making process by eliminating the need for a vote when it's highly likely that everyone agrees on a particular issue. Unanimous written consent can be helpful when boards need to make a quick decision on routine procedural issues or non-controversial vendor contracts.
