FN 1. To "call" in the sense of calling a meeting means "to invite or command to meet; convoke." (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/call (2018)). The actions required to "call" a meeting are stated in Subsection 16-6a-702(3)(a) and (b) (though not as such), namely, set the time and place of the meeting and give notice of the meeting.
The Act specifies that the "persons" entitled to call a special meeting are (1) the board of directors, (2) the person or persons authorized by the bylaws or resolution of the board of directors to call a special meeting, and (3) if members holding at least 10% of the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting demand a special meeting, and if a notice for a special meeting is not then given within 30 days after such demand is delivered to an officer, any member that signed the demand is entitled to then call the meeting, and therefore at that point any such member that signed the demand is "a person entitled to call a special meeting." (See Section 16-6a-702).
