(3) For the purposes of subclause (1), 2 or more separate documents containing a statement in identical terms, each of which is signed by one or more members, are deemed to constitute one document. (4) The majority of members referred to in subclause (1)(b) must not include a member who, because of clause 6, is not entitled to vote on the resolution.
