Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 4

“The organization made the following changes to the bylaws during 2014: 1. Directors term shorten from 3 years to 2 years. 2. Email voting changed from the then current requirements of unanimous approval to require complete participation of the board on the vote, but only requiring majority vote for approval. 3. Eliminated founding director seat.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6

“There are two classes of membership, individual members and industry members. There are no stockholders. Individual members and industry members both have three board members each representing them. Special meetings can be called by written demand of 15% or more of the membership.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 7A

“Each member gets one vote for items submitted to their membership class to vote on (e.g. Board elections).”

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 8B

“There are no committees with the authority to act on behalf of the governing body.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11

“The form 990 is reviewed internally by both the director of finance and the executive director. A copy is then provided to the board of directors prior to filing the form.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“Bylaws are posted on www.github.com. Anyone can view the bylaws and make pull requests suggesting edits to the bylaws. The board then votes on any suggested edits.”
