Registered native title claimants
 (1C) The requirement that a native title party that is a registered native title claimant be a party to the agreement is satisfied if:
 (a) a majority of the persons who comprise the registered native title claimant are parties to the agreement, unless paragraph (b) applies; or
 (b) if conditions under section 251BA on the authority of the registered native title claimant provide for the persons who must become a party to the agreement—those persons are parties to the agreement.
 (1D) The persons in the majority must notify the other persons who comprise the registered native title claimant within a reasonable period after becoming parties to the agreement as mentioned in paragraph (1C)(a). A failure to comply with this subsection does not invalidate the agreement.
