Changes to the rules of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation on decision-making by meetings will affect participants of legal entities, creditors in bankruptcy and representatives of other civil law communities. Instead of the term "in-person voting" they will introduce another - "meeting".
The right to participate in the meeting remotely in any way that allows you to reliably identify a participant, discuss issues on the agenda and vote is secured. Such methods can be established by law, a unanimous decision of community members, or the charter of a legal entity. The right to make decisions by absentee voting is retained.
The minutes of the meeting and voting results may be electronic. It must reflect:
- date, time and place of the meeting and the method of remote participation in it;
- the date up to which the documents on absentee voting were accepted, and the method of sending them;
- information about the participants in the meeting and the senders of the documents;
- results of voting on each item on the agenda;
- information about those who counted votes on instructions;
- information about those who voted against the decision and demanded to make a record about it in the minutes;
- data on the course of the meeting or voting, if the participant demanded to be included in the minutes;
- information about those who signed the protocol.
Note that the rules of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation on decision-making by assemblies are applied, unless otherwise provided by a special law.
