(a) If the declaration provides that any of the powers described in § 81-302 of this title are to be exercised by or may be delegated to
a profit or nonprofit corporation that exercises those or other powers on behalf of one or more common interest communities or for the
benefit of the unit owners of 1 or more common interest communities, all provisions of this chapter applicable to unit owners' associations
apply to any such corporation, except as modified by this section.
(b) Unless it is acting in the capacity of an association described in § 81-301 of this title, a master association may exercise the powers
set forth in § 81-302(a)(2) of this title only to the extent expressly permitted in the declarations of common interest communities which
are part of the master association or expressly described in the delegations of power from those common interest communities to the
master association.
(c) If the declaration of any common interest community provides that the executive board may delegate certain powers to a master
association, the members of the executive board have no liability for the acts or omissions of the master association with respect to those
powers following delegation.
(d) The rights and responsibilities of unit owners with respect to the unit owners' association set forth in §§ 81-303, 81-308, 81-309,
81-310, and 81-312 of this title apply in the conduct of the affairs of a master association only to persons who elect the board of a master
association, whether or not those persons are otherwise unit owners within the meaning of this chapter.

instrument creating the master association and the declaration of each common interest community, the powers of which are assigned
by the declaration or delegated to the master association, may provide that the executive board of the master association must be elected

(1) All unit owners of all common interest communities subject to the master association may elect all members of the master
association's executive board.
