Governance Explanations

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

“The 990 is sent to each member of the Board of Directors for review.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 2

“The Executive Director is married to the Board Chair.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C

“The Conflict of Interest Policy has been developed, but not formally adopted by the Board. It is on the agenda for our March 14, 2016 Board meeting. That said, no directors or staff have any interests that could give rise to conflicts. The Executive Director works with the Board Chair and Secretary to evaluate potential conflicts via email in prior to formal Board meetings. If a potential conflict was identified it would be brought up. None has ever been identified.”

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Stop GE Trees Program In April we submitted more than 100,000 letters rejecting the legalization of GE eucalyptus trees to the Brazilian Biosafety Commission. In June we consulted with GE Free New Zealand on their efforts to defeat a proposed change in the NZ Forest Code that would prevent communities from banning GE trees. Then in September, we attended the World Forestry Congress in Durban, South Africa where we had important face-to-face meetings with allies about the problem of GE trees. We also met with World Rainforest Movement on plans to stop GE trees in Brazil. In September GJEP also organized and hosted a GE Trees Action Training Camp in North Carolina. 40 people attended the camp. In October we organized a tour on GE trees throughout the Pacific Northwest, stopping at 14 locations and speaking to more than 1,000 people. In February we organized a media webinar on GE trees featuring scientists and other experts in the field, that brought in large media outlets New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, AP, Time Magazine.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0BioFuelWatch Program Over the past year BFW engaged in a major research effort to review the big picture of biotechnology developments for biofuels. This included looking especially at the engineering and synthesis of microbes, and at the status of investment and companies involved. This research is culminating in a report - actually a series of inter-related briefings - that lay out the findings in format that is accessible both for public education and for policymakers. We participated in an online forum on synthetic biology hosted by the UN Convention on Biological Diversity and worked on the nomination process for the National Academy of Sciences Future Biotechnology Products and Opportunities to Enhance Capabilities of the Biotechnology Regulatory System. In conjunction with the Paris climate negotiations, we prepared and released an updated report on Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage. We also submitted comment to the EPA re implementation of the Clean Power Plan and the role of biomass.

IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt1The Executive Director is married to the Board Chair.
IRS990ScheduleO/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt2The Conflict of Interest Policy has been developed, but not formally adopted by the Board. It is on the agenda for our March 14, 2016 Board meeting. That said, no directors or staff have any interests that could give rise to conflicts. The Executive Director works with the Board Chair and Secretary to evaluate potential conflicts via email in prior to formal Board meetings. If a potential conflict was identified it would be brought up. None has ever been identified.
