The process includes all of these elements: 1) review and approval by the board of directors of the organization; 2) use of data as to comparable compensation; and 3) contemporaneous documentation and recordkeeping. 1) review and approval - the compensation of the founder and ceo is reviewed and approved by an appointed subcommittee of the board of directors of the organization. The compensation is then approved by the entire board of directors. Any persons with conflict of interests with respect to the compensation arrangement at issue are not involved in this review and approval. 2) use of data as to comparable compensation - the compensation of the founder and ceo is reviewed and approved using data as to comparable compensation for similarly qualified persons in functionally comparable positions at similarly situated organizations. 3) contemporaneous documentation and recordkeeping - there is contemporaneous documentation and recordkeeping with respect to the deliberations and decisions regarding the compensation arrangement.”
