712 - Executive committee and other committees.

712. Executive committee and other committees.
(a) If the certificate of incorporation or the by-laws so provide, the
  board,  by  resolution  adopted  by  a majority of the entire board, may
  designate from among  its  members  an  executive  committee  and  other
  committees,  each  consisting  of  three  or more directors, and each of
  which, to the extent provided in the resolution or in the certificate of
  incorporation or by-laws, shall have all the  authority  of  the  board,
  except  that  no such committee shall have authority as to the following
  matters:
(1) The  submission  to  members  of  any  action  requiring  members'
  approval under this chapter.
(2)  The  filling  of  vacancies  in  the board of directors or in any
  committee.
(3) The fixing of compensation of the directors  for  serving  on  the
  board or on any committee.
(4)  The  amendment  or  repeal  of the by-laws or the adoption of new
  by-laws.
(5) The amendment or repeal of any resolution of the  board  which  by
  its terms shall not be so amendable or repealable.
(b) The board may designate one or more directors as alternate members
  of  any  committee,  who may replace any absent member or members at any
  meeting of such committee.
(d) Each committee of the board shall serve at  the  pleasure  of  the
  board.  The designation of any such committee and the delegation thereto
  of authority shall not alone relieve any director of  his  duty  to  the
  corporation under section 717 (Duty of directors and officers).
(e) Committees, other than committees of the board, whether created by
  the  board or by the members, shall be committees of the corporation. No
  such committee shall have the authority to bind the board. Provisions of
  this chapter applicable to officers generally shall apply to members  of
  such  committees. Members of such committees of the corporation, who may
  be non-directors, shall be elected or appointed in the manner set  forth
  in  the  by-laws, or if not set forth in the by-laws, in the same manner
  as officers of the corporation.
