(1) If the nonprofit corporation is to have no members, a statement to that effect.

(3) The number of directors constituting the initial board of directors, and the names and addresses of the persons who are to serve as the initial directors.

(b) It shall not be necessary to set forth in the certificate of formation any of the entity powers enumerated in Section 10A-1-2.11 or set forth in this chapter.

(c) Unless the certificate of formation provides that a change in the number of directors shall be made only by amendment to the certificate of formation, a change in the number of directors made by amendment to the bylaws shall be controlling. In all other cases, whenever a provision of the certificate of formation is inconsistent with a bylaw, the provision of the certificate of formation shall be controlling.
