without this state, and on the notice that the bylaws prescribe. Attendance of a director

directors need be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of the meeting.
(b) Except as may be otherwise restricted by the articles of incorporation or bylaws,
members of the board of directors or any committee designated by the board may participate
in a meeting of the board or committee by means of a conference telephone or similar
communications equipment, by means of which all persons participating in the meeting
can hear each other at the same time, and participation by that means constitutes
presence in person at a meeting.
