(3) The method of calling meetings of unit owners, the percentage of unit owners or voting rights required to make decisions regarding administration and management of the condominium property and to constitute a quorum, but such bylaws may nevertheless provide that unit owners may waive notice of meetings or may act by written agreement without meetings.
