(d) if the revocation of the dissolution is effected by action of its board and its members, the text of the board resolution authorizing revocation, the date and place of the meeting of members called to vote upon the revocation, the total number of members entitled to vote on the revocation, the number of members present at the meeting, the number of votes voted for and voted against the revocation and, where applicable, the number of votes in each class voted for and voted against the revocation.
