(b) The filling of vacancies in the board of directors or in any such committee.
(c) The fixing of compensation of the directors for serving on the board or on any committee.
(d) The amendment or repeal of the by-laws, or the adoption of new by-laws.

(f) The taking of action which is expressly required by any provision of this chapter to be taken at a meeting of the board or by a specified proportion of the directors. The board may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any such committee, who may replace any absent member or members at any meeting of such committee. 2. The board may appoint or provide for such other committees consisting of such directors, officers or other persons and having such powers and functions in the management of the corporation as may be provided in the by-laws or, to the extent not so provided, by the board. 3.
