communication that is electronically recorded or is
contemporaneously reduced to a record and signed by the
individual receiving the oral communication.

available members agree to the revocation of the gift or if they
are equally divided as to whether to revoke the gift.

effective only if, before an incision has been made to remove a
part from the donor's body or before invasive procedures have
begun to prepare the recipient, the procurement organization,
transplant hospital or physician or technician knows of the
revocation.
