Sigh.  Standard boilerplate bylaws stuff; some states won't really let
you get around it cleanly, either.  Tell 'em to amend the bylaws to
add a strongly worded "action without a meeting" section that allows
for unanimous consent (even via email!) (assuming the bylaws let the
board amend the bylaws).  Been there, done that...
