(i) If there are two (2) or more qualified directors, by a majority vote of all the qualified directors, a majority of whom shall for such purposes constitute a quorum, or by a majority of the members of a committee consisting solely of two (2) or more qualified directors appointed by such a vote; or
(ii) If there are fewer than two (2) qualified directors, by the vote necessary for action by the board of directors in accordance with section 30-29-824(c), Idaho Code, in which authorization directors who are qualified directors may participate; or
