Participation as a member by means of remote communication shall be subject to such guidelines and procedures as the board of directors adopts, and shall be in conformity with subsection 2.
2. Members participating in a meeting of the members by means of remote communication shall be deemed present and may vote at such a meeting if the association has implemented reasonable measures to do all of the following:
a. Verify that each person participating remotely as a member is a member.
b. Provide such members a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting and to vote on matters submitted to the members, including an opportunity to communicate, and to read or hear the proceedings of the meeting, substantially concurrently with such proceedings.
3. Unless the bylaws require the meeting of the members to be held at a place, the board of directors may determine that any meeting of the members shall not be held at any place and shall instead be held solely by means of remote communication, but only if the association implements the measures specified in subsection 2.
