“Since 1998, the board of governors of the iso has worked closely with nationally recognized human resources and executive compensation advisory firms to develop an appropriate compensation program for the executives of the iso. Competitive compensation for all non-officer employees is also established by annual third-party compensation surveys. These firms helped the board of governors determine the appropriate levels of executive compensation by compiling extensive market data concerning executive compensation for positions similar to executive positions at the iso. These firms historically have met with the board of governors at least annually to present executive compensation market data, make recommendations and otherwise discuss executive compensation issues. The board relied on the comparability data to determine the appropriate compensation, approved the compensation, and documented the approval in its minutes.”

“The organization makes available on its website (accessible by the public) the financial statements, the code of conduct policy, the tariff (rules of the iso market), the articles of incorporation (and all amendments), the corporate by-laws and the minutes of the board of governors' meetings (except for the executive sessions). The documents are also available upon request.”
