The Board of Directors will document such information and investigate. Documentation will include a description of the issue, pertinent facts, circumstances and inquiries, as well as conclusions reached by the Board of Directors and related actions taken by the Board of Directors.

These considerations of the directors are documented in the minutes of the meetings and other documents of the organization.”
