The consent of a member may be evidenced in any manner specified in an operating agreement, but in the absence of specification, consent is evidenced by a written instrument, dated and signed by the member, or evidenced by a vote taken at a meeting of the members called in accordance with the operating agreement and maintained with the records of the limited-liability company.
