06 December 2010 Hi...

In case of resolution to be passed by circulation, send the draft of the resolution in duplicate along with the covering letter to all the Directors for the time being in India(not being less than the quroum for the meeting) to all other Directors at their address registered with the Company in India and requesting the Directors to accord their consent/disapproval in writing by ticking the respective option and return the paper within ---- days. The resolution should be approved either by all the Directors present in India or by a majority of Directors entitled to vote on the resolution.

The resolution passed by Circulation should be noted at the next Board Meeting and should be made a part of the minutes of the Board Meeting in which it is noted.

God Bless

06 December 2010 Continuing with the above answer, a resolution passed by circulation is treated as if the same was passed at a duly convened Board Meeting......
