(b) Unless it is acting in the capacity of an association described in AS 34.08.310 , a master association may exercise the powers set out in AS 34.08.320 (a)(2) only to the extent expressly permitted in the declarations of common interest communities that are part of the master association or expressly described in the delegation of power from the common interest communities to the master association.

(c) If the declaration of a common interest community provides that the executive board may delegate certain powers to a master association, the members of the executive board of the common interest community are not liable for an act or omission of the master association with respect to the delegated powers following the delegation.
