“There are three categories of members: (i) core members; (ii) affiliate members; and (iii) associate members.”

“An affiliate member is a member who: (i) actively participates in the alliance (i.e., provides input in key decisions and has financial obligations); (ii) has the right to appoint a director ("director") to the board of directors; and (iii) has additional rights, as determined by core members, but who is not a core member.”

“No committees at this time.”

“Form 990 is prepared by an outside accounting firm. The returns will be reviewed by the cfo before filing.”

“The alliance's conflict of interest policy must be consulted and satisfied before entering into any transaction or arrangement covered by such policy. The organization is in the process of formalizing its orientation process to include an annual review and compliance check of the conflict of interest policy with all board members. The organization intends that all board members will annually acknowledge such policy consistent with the procedures stated in the policy.”

“Compensation arrangements must be based on; (i) information about compensation paid by at least three similarly situated organizations (taxable or taxexempt) for similar services; (ii) current compensation surveys compiled by independent firms; or (iii) actual written offers from similarly situated organizations. The date and terms of approved compensation arrangements must be documented in writing, and the written documentation must identify: (i) the members of the authorized body who were present during debate on the approved compensation arrangement; (ii) the decision made by each individual who participated in the determination of approved compensation arrangement; (iii) the information on which the compensation arrangement was based and its source; and (iv) any actions with respect to consideration of the compensation arrangement by anyone who otherwise is authorized to vote on compensation arrangements but who had a conflict of interest with respect to the transaction ( or document that no such action was taken).”

“The articles of organization, bylaws, conflict of interest policies, and form 990 are available upon request.”

“The organization has no employees. Compensation reported on part ix, line 7 is paid by the member organizations for the services of employees of the member organizations for work done on behalf of the alliance.”
