Meeting Notice

[Guest Bob]

Scenario:

Nonprofit corporation with board of seven directors.

How much notice must be given for a meeting?

Can board directors waive the right to a timed notice?

California Corporate Code states:

"Notice of a meeting need not be given to a director who provided a waiver of notice or consent to holding the meeting or an approval of the minutes thereof in writing, whether before or after the meeting, or who attends the meeting without protesting, prior thereto or at its commencement, the lack of notice to that director. These waivers, consents and approvals shall be filed with the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the meetings."

So, if an director waives their right to the notice, or consents to the meeting, or attends the meeting without protesting, then can the meeting may be held? Or is a majority required to waive the right of timed notice?

Thanks
