Governance Explanations

Form 990 governing body review Part VI line 11

A complete copy of form 990 is provided to the board prior to filing. Board reviews and discusses at in-person board meeting, by telephone or via email if necessary. It is each board members responsibility to review the form 990 in sufficient detail so as to bring any questions or concerns to the table before acceptance.

Conflict of interest policy compliance Part VI line 12C

Open transformation lab has board meetings annually and additionally as required. At each board meeting where the board discusses issues or other corporate actions which may involve conflicts, each board member is required to disclose potential conflicts. These disclosures are then reviewed for items of conflict. Items noted as a potential conflict, if any, are reviewed by the board, directors, officers, and, where appropriate, outside legal counsel. Appropriate action is taken to address the disclosures and to ensure that directors do not vote on any matter in which they have a conflict of interest.

CEO executive director top management comp Part VI line 15A

Each year, certain independent directors survey the marketplace and gather market data on the compensation of the acting director (the ceo/executive director) and other top management positions. The acting director position and other top management positions are matched with other similar positions in organizations with similar revenues, structures, and scope. For the acting director positions and other top management positions, both base pay and total compensation pay are compared. Total compensation includes base pay and bonus pay. Every year, certain independent board members also conduct a formal performance evaluation on the acting director and other top management positions.

Other officer or key employee compensation Part VI line 15B

For officers and key employees, certain independent directors match these positions with other similar positions in organizations with similar revenues, structures, and scope. The market ranges for base pay are provided to those independent board members. Those independent board members review this data and approve the ranges to be used by the acting director in determining their base pay. The organization maintains contemporaneous documentation regarding its deliberations and decisions regarding each management compensation arrangement.

Governing documents etc available to public Part VI line 19

Governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements are made available upon request, annual tax returns are available on guidestar.org and upon request

Additional Explanations

Significant program services not listed on prior year return Part III line 2

FellowshipsIn OTLs endeavor to create a comprehensive understanding of the misinformation landscape, the Organization collaborated with researchers for content analysis of rumors and false news in the region. This fellowship model offered us the opportunity to access a wider pool of knowledge and expertise. In addition, OTL publishes extended news features on a regular basis, unrelated to its daily work. These pieces were prepared in advance and tackled societal issues such as hate speech, natural disasters, diseases, and elections, providing an in-depth and non-time-sensitive journalistic perspective.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Content Creation Content creation was central to OTLs mission. The Organization focused on debunking rumors, particularly those fostering hate speech and discrimination against vulnerable groups in Egypt and the broader Arab societies. OTLs fact-checking initiatives spanned a broad spectrum, from scientific misinformation, religious and folk superstitions, to government remarks, and news propagated by text and audiovisual media outlets. The team undertook a unique initiative of fact-checking news related to soccer, acknowledging its influential role in Egyptian society and its potential to fuel rumors and social tensions.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Fellowships In OTLs endeavor to create a comprehensive understanding of the misinformation landscape, the Organization collaborated with researchers for content analysis of rumors and false news in the region. This fellowship model offered us the opportunity to access a wider pool of knowledge and expertise. In addition, OTL publishes extended news features on a regular basis, unrelated to its daily work. These pieces were prepared in advance and tackled societal issues such as hate speech, natural disasters, diseases, and elections, providing an in-depth and non-time-sensitive journalistic perspective.
