Commentary on Article 181.2 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation

1. The decision of the general meeting is taken collectively, for certain types of decisions a special procedure for their adoption may be envisaged - unanimously. To make a decision, it is sufficient to have a majority of votes, subject to the legality of the meeting - more than half of the organization's participants took part in it.

The Civil Code of the Russian Federation provides participants with the opportunity to make an absentee decision, i.e. voting on agenda items without personal presence at the place of the meeting. It is impossible to make a decision at the general meeting by absentee voting (that is, both at the general meeting and in the form of absentee voting).

The decision must be taken by the participants on each of the issues included in the agenda, the adoption of a generalized decision on all or several issues is not allowed. A different procedure can be established only by the decision of the participants of the legal entity, adopted unanimously. Refusal of at least one of the participants to make such a decision deprives him of legitimacy and does not allow implementing a different procedure for making decisions on the agenda of the general meeting.

2. Any decision of the general meeting must be drawn up in writing with the assurance of the authenticity of its provisions by the signatures of the participants in this legal entity. The decision of the general meeting is drawn up in minutes, which must be signed by authorized persons. In most cases, two signatures are sufficient: the chairman and the secretary of the meeting. The charter of the organization may provide for the signing of the decision of the general meeting by all the participants present. The content of the protocol is determined by clause 4 of this article, which provides for a set of mandatory details of this document. By decision of the meeting participants, its content may be supplemented by other provisions. One of the novelties of this article is the requirement to indicate the time of the beginning of the general meeting, previously it was sufficient to indicate the date of its holding.

The results of the absentee voting are also documented in a protocol, which is subject to General requirements to the order of its registration. Absentee voting also presupposes a number of peculiarities due to the form of the meeting. The set of such features is defined in clause 5 of this article.
