Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6

“The cios is supported primarily through individual and institutional memberships, through publication of the electronic journal of communication, and through sales of software products to assist communication scholarship.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B

“The organization's treasurer and president review the 990 and approve before finalization and filing.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15A

“The cios president's compensation was established by a process of board review of median salaries for directors of not-for-profit university presses. For the first 10 years of operations, (including six years prior to the formal establishment of the cios), the president performed without compensation. As the cios began to become self supporting, he asked for board approval for compensation as the budget permitted.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“Documents are available upon request.”
