FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C
THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, TRUSTEES AND KEY EMPLOYEES COMPLETE CONFLICT OF INTEREST FORMS ON AN ANNUAL BASIS. COMPLETED CONFLICT OF INTEREST FORMS ARE REVIEWED BY IN-HOUSE COUNSEL, WHOSE OBSERVATIONS ARE SHARED WITH THE CHAIR AND THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. IN THE EVENT THAT A CONFLICT SHOULD ARISE ON THE PART OF A TRUSTEE, THE DISINTERESTED MEMBERS OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE WILL COMMUNICATE WITH THE INTERESTED TRUSTEE TO DETERMINE THE NATURE OF THE CONFLICT AND WHETHER THE TRUSTEE SHOULD ABSTAIN FROM DECIDING ON MATTERS AFFECTED BY THE INTEREST.

THE ILSI NORTH AMERICA PRESIDENT REVIEWS THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S CONFLICT OF INTEREST DECLARATION AND MANAGES ANY DECLARED INTERESTS. THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REVIEWS DECLARATIONS OF KEY EMPLOYEES AND MANAGES DECLARED INTERESTS.
FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15A
THE ILSI NORTH AMERICA BYLAWS ESTABLISH A FORMAL PROCESS FOR SETTING EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE SAFE HARBOR REGULATION REGARDING EXCESS BENEFITS. UNDER THIS PROCEDURE, AT LEAST THREE INDEPENDENT MEMBERS OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE ANNUALLY REVIEW THE COMPENSATION OF THE COMPENSATED OFFICERS (INCLUDING THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR). THE REVIEW INCLUDES CONSIDERATION OF COMPARABILITY DATA. THE COMPENSATION REVIEWERS ESTABLISH A RANGE OF COMPENSATION THAT THE COMMITTEE DEEMS REASONABLE. THAT RANGE IS PROVIDED TO THE ILSI NORTH AMERICA PRESIDENT, WHO SETS THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S COMPENSATION AT A FIGURE THAT IS WITHIN THE RANGE DETERMINED BY THE COMPENSATION REVIEWERS TO BE REASONABLE. THE COMPENSATION REVIEWERS RECORD THEIR DECISION IN CONTEMPORANEOUS WRITTEN MINUTES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE IRS SAFE HARBOR REGULATION WITH REGARD TO EXCESS BENEFITS. THERE ARE NO COMPENSATED OFFICERS OTHER THAN THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR. THE COMPENSATION OF OTHER ILSI NORTH AMERICA EMPLOYEES IS NOT DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROCEDURE DESCRIBED ABOVE. INSTEAD, THOSE EMPLOYEES' COMPENSATION IS SET BY THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR IN ACCORDANCE WITH HIGH-TO-LOW RANGES ESTABLISHED BY THE DIRECTOR OF HUMAN RESOURCES IN COOPERATION WITH THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR. THE COMPENSATION REVIEW FOR THE COMPENSATED OFFICERS (CURRENTLY ONLY THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR) DOES INCLUDE A REVIEW AND APPROVAL BY INDEPENDENT PERSONS, COMPARABILITY DATA, AND CONTEMPORANEOUS SUBSTANTIATION OF THE DELIBERATION AND DECISION. COMPENSATION OF EMPLOYEES THAT IS NOT SUBJECT TO SUCH A REVIEW IS ESTABLISHED BY THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, WHO IS INDEPENDENT OF THE EMPLOYEES, AND IT IS NORMALLY BASED ON AN INFORMAL REVIEW OF COMPARABLE COMPENSATION IN NON-PROFIT CORPORATIONS OF THE SAME SIZE IN THE WASHINGTON, DC AREA. THE PROCESS BY WHICH COMPENSATION IS SET IS DOCUMENTED IN WRITING, BUT THIS IS NOT DONE IN THE SAME FORMAL MANNER AS REVIEW BY THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE.
