There's also the fact that if you don't list the number of directors in your Articles of Incorporation, you're legally required to list that information in your bylaws (see California Corp Code § 212). The bottom line: corporate bylaws are not legally required, but they're pretty much essential for your corporation.
Although organizations don't need to file these bylaws with the state, California law requires that the treasurer or other designated member of the organization maintains a copy on file.
LLCs are not required to have bylaws. However, they are governed by an operating agreement which is like a corporation's bylaws.
The authorized number of directors must be set out in the bylaws (or the articles). A corporation must have at least three directors unless the corporation has fewer than three shareholders. In that case, the number of its directors can be no less than the number of shareholders.
Code § 307(b) provides, "An action required or permitted to be taken by the board may be taken without a meeting, if all members of the board shall individually or collectively consent in writing to that action and if the number of members of the board serving at the time constitutes a quorum.
