“On behalf of npr international operations, inc. ("nprio"), national public radio, inc. ("npr") regularly monitors and surveys members of nprio's board of directors ("nprio board") and executive director to identify possible conflicts of interest. Npr's chief legal officer, general counsel, and secretary ("npr general counsel") is authorized, with the approval of nprio's board chair, to seek from nprio's directors and officers such information as to potential conflicts of interest, nonpublic corporate information, and gratuities as they deem appropriate, including periodic disclosure of information about the interests of the nprio directors and officers which could lead to conflicts of interest. Regarding actual or apparent conflicts of interest for a nprio director, a director: (a) refrains from any use of their position as a director that is motivated by, or gives the appearance of being motivated by, the desire for gain for the director or for another person or organization with which they are associated, and (b) disqualify themselves from formal or informal discussions with directors or participation in any decisions which pose a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest. If such disqualification is necessary, the director informs the nprio board chair of that disqualification, and if the director has not already done so, the nprio board chair, as soon as possible thereafter, informs the other directors and npr's general counsel of such disqualification. In certain circumstances, the director may request, in writing and directed to npr's general counsel, that a disclosure be treated as confidential. If there is any question as to whether there is a conflict of interest, the director or nprio board requests a written opinion from npr's general counsel regarding the propriety of the director's involvement. After consulting with npr's general counsel, the nprio board chair moves that the nprio board vote such corrective actions as may be necessary or appropriate to remedy any violation of the nprio board's conflict of interest policy as determined by the nprio board. Such motions are made at the nprio board chair's initiative or at the request of any director. Conflicts of interest involving officers are addressed in a similar manner.”
