  Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):exactly Robin  *no cause*

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):That is my understanding as well Lori

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):I thought is was our Standards  of cnduct  not Board onesas our remit  YES

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):Correct Alan  that work  for Designator  Good faith conduct  *is* our work

  Robin Gross:As Alan said, we decided in WS 1 not to limit a group's rationale.

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):YUP

  Avri Doria:i think thee is only 1 director that might wear purple pants

  Alan Greenberg:Purple shirts may be a different matter.

  Avri Doria:what do we mean by good faith?

  Avri Doria:Board are paid members of the community.  unlike other particpants.

  Avri Doria:that makes the consideration somewhat different

  Avri Doria:Board has authority, no one else does.

  Robin Gross:our remit is limited to directors here

  Avri Doria:i would think so

  Alan Greenberg:Directors are technically not "paid".  

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):I thought the term was stipend

  Rinalia Abdul Rahim 2:"compensation"

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):yes offered to all  not all take it up

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):Thx Rinalia

  Rinalia Abdul Rahim 2:my pleasure.

  Avri Doria:do the tax people treat it as slary?  if so, a rose by another name.

  Alan Greenberg:To be clear, they are the only "volunteers" that receive such compensation. Others are just reimbursed for specific expenses.

  Rinalia Abdul Rahim 2:it is taxable.

  Alan Greenberg:Taxable, but not salary (ie I beleive that ICANN does not pay benefits or employee taxes on it.

  Rinalia Abdul Rahim 2:correct in that it is not considered as salary.

  Alan Greenberg:How recipient's tax authority treats it is a separate issue of course.

  Cheryl Langdon-Orr (CLO):less complex perhaps  Yes
