Governance Explanations

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

“The organization reviewed the 990 with the board prior to filing. The 990 is reviewed and approved by board asynchronously.”

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

“At beginning of term, members list all conflicts of interests. If conflicts arise, members are asked to seek outside counsel and recuse themselves from decisions as needed.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15

“The executive compensation policy for kfi involves the board's annual review to set competitive, market-based compensation for the executive director. The board meets independent of the ed and other org executives to discuss executive compensation, focusing on internal and external equity. The process includes gathering market data from various sources, performing annual performance reviews, and presenting recommendations to the board, ensuring documentation of discussions and decisions. After review of data collected, the full board will meet and decide on compensation of the executive officers. A quorum must be present to approve the recommendation, and the board must document how it reached its decisions, including the data on which it relied, in the minutes during which the compensation was approved. An email from the board or minutes showing approval of compensation change, if any, must be sent to the operations team at kf to make changes in the payroll system.”

Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19

“No other documents available to the public.”

IRS990/Desc0PUBPUB: IN 2023, THE TEAM BEGAN WORKING ON A NEW ITERATION OF PUBPUB, NOW REFERRED TO AS PUBPUB PLATFORM (WITH THE PREVIOUS VERSION CALLED PUBPUB LEGACY), WITH PLANS TO PROVIDE A FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE, CENTRALLY HOSTED, FULL-STACK KNOWLEDGE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT ALLOWS COMMUNITIES TO TAILOR THEIR PUBLISHING WORKFLOWS AND OUTPUTS BEYOND LEGACY'S CAPABILITIES. BUILT TO SUPPORT SELF-HOSTING AND ON-PREMISE DEPLOYMENTS WITHOUT PROPRIETARY DEPENDENCIES, THE PLATFORM IS HIGHLY ADAPTABLE TO DIVERSE PARTNER NEEDS. HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDED BUILDING INITIAL PLATFORM FEATURES WITH UNJOURNAL, LAUNCHING OER WITH CHOP AND UPENN, AND PUBLISHING INFLUENTIAL SERIES, SUCH AS MIT'S EXPLORATION OF GENERATIVE AI. DOCMAPS: IN 2023 WE DEVELOPED A SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT KIT FOR PRODUCING AND CONSUMING DOCMAPS, REACHED OUT TO PREPRINT SERVERS AND REVIEW COMMUNITIES TO ASSESS INTEGRATION NEEDS, AND WORKED ON SPECIFICATIONS FOR APIS AND DISPLAY PURPOSES. WE PARTICIPATED IN CONVERSATIONS AND PRESENTATIONS ABOUT PREPRINT REVIEW METADATA, AND FOUND THE COMMUNITY INVESTED IN ITS OPEN-SOURCE DEVELOPMENT AND COMMUNITY GOVERNANCE. FOLLOWING THE SUCCESS OF THE IMPLEMENTATION GROUP, WE WERE ABLE TO EXPAND THE NUMBER AND VARIETY OF GROUPS WITH WHOM THEY INTERACT, AND LEARN ABOUT KEY NEEDS FOR METADATA TRANSFER PATHWAYS AMONG STAKEHOLDERS. OVER 12,000 DOCMAPS ARE CREATED AND/OR CONSUMED VIA PLATFORMS FROM FIVE ORGANIZATIONS (COLD SPRING HARBOR LABORATORY, ELIFE, EUROPE PMC, KOTAHI, AND EMBO), RELATING TO THOUSANDS OF COMMUNITY REVIEWS, PUBLICATIONS, AND OTHER PREPRINT ARTIFACTS.
