“"monitoring and enforcing compliance with the policy"”

“Wnet regularly and consistently monitors and enforces compliance with its written conflict of interest policy by requiring annual and ongoing disclosure of actual or potential conflicts, review of such disclosures by the general counsel and audit committee, and recusal by conflicted individuals when warranted. Specifically, wnet's written conflict of interest policy is distributed annually to all trustees, voting life trustees, and officers, each of whom affirms receipt of the conflict of interest policy and submits a signed disclosure statement to wnet. Any prospective trustee must submit a signed conflict of interest disclosure statement prior to his or her election to the board. The annual disclosure statements are then reviewed by wnet general counsel's office. In addition each trustee, voting life trustee, and officer must report promptly any potential conflict of interest as and when it arises to the general counsel, who shall then inform the audit committee of the disclosure. Trustees, voting life trustees and officers are encouraged to consult with wnet's general counsel and/or the audit committee if they are unsure as to whether a conflict exists.there is also a conflict of interest policy applicable to employees, which is included in the employee handbook.”

“"the process of determining officers' compensation"”

“The personnel & diversity committee of wnet's board of trustees (the "committee") is responsible for the general oversight of wnet's compensation policies and practices, including the review and approval of the compensation of wnet's ceo and other senior managers. The committee's goal is to provide reasonable compensation to these officers and employees. To that end, wnet engages quatt associates, an independent compensation consultant, on an annual basis to review the compensation of wnet's senior managers, including its ceo. Quatt associates reviews each senior manager's total cash compensation against appropriate market medians and wnet's benefits program against appropriate market medians and its findings are presented to the committee. The committee complies with the rebuttable presumption of reasonableness procedures for determining compensation under internal revenue code section 4958. The committee's deliberations and decisions regarding compensation arrangements are contemporaneously documented in the meeting minutes. Based on its analysis, quatt associates concluded that the compensation for wnet's senior managers for 2014/2015, including base pay, benefits, and retirement, was reasonable and consistent with compensation practices for not-for-profit organizations of similar mission to wnet, taking into account the market in which wnet operates. The committee considered quatt associates' compensation analysis and performance evaluations before approving the 2014/2015 compensation for each of wnet's senior managers.”
