The Internet Society has a corporate membership dues structure, and is continuously seeking to expand its base of corporate members. The Internet Society also has members around the world. It does not charge membership dues to individuals since many of them are located in developing countries, but the Internet Society does seek and receive contributions from individuals. The Internet Society also seeks and receives grants and contributions for the support of specific programs and activities, including its conferences and meetings. The Internet Society also seeks grants from nonprofit and foundation grant makers to seek a broader public support base and an expansion of our mission and core programs. 3. Sources of support. The Internet Society and its members are supported by a diverse and representative group of members and donors, including more than 150 organizations, including nonprofits and universities, and individual members.

Internet Society conducts a variety of programs and activities that are designed to ensure an open and accessible Internet. These programs are widely accessible to the interested segments of the public and include publicly available briefings and forums in such areas as increasing access to the internet in developing countries, mentoring new Internet leaders worldwide, promotion of an open, secure and stable Internet infrastructure, removal of impediments to Internet growth, and end-to-end access for Internet users. The products of Internet Society's efforts are freely made available through conferences, seminars, publications and through Internet Society's website: www.internetsociety.org. The Internet Society acts not only as a global clearinghouse for Internet information and education, but also as a facilitator and coordinator of Internet - related initiatives around the world. For more than 20 years, Internet Society has run international network training and development programs for developing countries and these have played a vital role in setting up the Internet connections and networks in virtually every country connecting to the Internet during this time. Through its workshops, events, developing-country training workshops, tutorials, public policy briefings, and regional bureaus and local chapters, the Internet Society serves the educational and public policy needs of the growing global Internet community.

Endowment for an Open Internet

Schedule D, Part X, Line 2

Effective in 2009, Internet Society adopted new guidance that creates a single model to address uncertainty in tax positions and clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in its consolidated financial statements. Under the requirements of this guidance, organizations could now be required to record an obligation as the result of tax positions they have historically taken on various tax exposure items. The impact of the adoption of this guidance, the determination of when to record a liability for a tax exposure was based on whether a liability was considered probable and reasonably estimable in accordance with guidance concerning recording contingencies.

Schedule J, Part II

Column B (ii) represents the amount of ISOC's Variable Compensation Plan earned in 2012 (the prior calendar year), but paid in 2013. Column B(iii) represents the amount of employee contributions to their own retirement accounts that are non-taxable according to local tax laws, plus employees' taxable cost of life insurance, if applicable, and any taxable health stipend paid to the employee. Column C includes Internet Society's contribution to employees' retirement Plans, plus any variable compensation earned in 2013 (current tax year) but paid in 2014. Since Column B(ii) reports the 2012 variable compensation (as paid in 2013) and Column C reports the 2013 variable compensation (to be paid in the 2014 - the next tax year), total compensation reported on this tax return includes two years of variable compensation (2012 and 2013). Column D includes employees' non taxable medical and other non-taxed benefits. Column F is informative only and shows variable compensation earned and reported in 2012 (prior tax year) and paid in 2013 (current tax year). As noted above, the figures in Column F are included in Column C.

Schedule J, Part II, Column C - ADDITIONAL NOTE REGARDING PRESIDENT & CEO:

The Internet Society reports compensation in compliance with the IRS Form 990 Instructions. The Instructions require organizations to report certain compensation which is earned, but not paid out as reportable compensation, in the year in which it is accrued. When that same compensation is paid in a subsequent year, it is reported as reportable compensation in Schedule J, Part II, Column B to the employee. In 2012, as part of her employment agreement, Lynn St. Amour was paid a variable compensation component of $110,000 earned in 2012 and reflected in column B(ii). Ms. St. Amour also earned a bonus compensation component of $148,772 in 2013, paid in 2014 and reflected in Column C along with retirement benefits paid to Ms. St Amour. Therefore, Schedule J, Part II reports two years of variable compensation in this 2013 tax return.

Changes to Governing Documents Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 4 In July 2013, after consulting with the major communities supporting the Internet Society, the Board of Trustees amended the By-Laws of the Society. The major changes were: 1. The Amended By-Laws provide for the recognition of Chapters, not heretofore mentioned in the By-Laws, and provide for the selection of Trustees by Chapters. 2. The Amended By-Laws specify Tru
Members or Stockholders	Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6 The Internet Society by-laws provide for the recognition of organizational members, individual members, and chapters. Organizational members are corporate, non-profit, government, or academic contributors to ISOC's overall charitable mission. Individual members may be sustaining members or global members, giving individuals opportunities as members to participate in Internet Society's activities. Individual membership is free, but members are encouraged to financially support Internet Society's activities. Individual members may also belong to one of ISOC's chapters, but are not required to do so. Chapters are individual members who are committed to furthering Internet Society's mission within their geographic or special interest area.
Members or Stockholders Who May Elect	Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 7a The Internet Society by-laws call for the election or appointment of a Board of Trustees. According to the by-laws, the Board defines the process for election of trustees by organizational members and chapters. The Internet Architecture Board (IAB) appoints trustees according to an appointment process of its choosing. The IAB recommendation must be approved by the IESG, which is the steering committee of the IETF. To participate in an election, a potential nominee must be a member in good standing as of December 31st of the previous year. For an organizational member, dues must be paid in full. For a chapter, the chapter must be in good standing as defined in ISOC procedures. A person may be a candidate in only one constituency (organizational member, chapter, IAB) in one year. Trustee terms are 3 years and limited to no more than two consecutive terms. The two important committees involved in the process are the Elections and the Nominations Committees. The Nominations Committee establishes selection criteria for prospective trustees, advertises the nomination process, solicits candidates for the process, names a slate of candidates, oversees a petition process and monitors the process to ensure that an individual is not a candidate in more than one constituency at the same time. Once candidates are nominated, petitions for additional nominees are accepted. Candidates are allowed to submit biographical information and an election statement. After, the petition period closes and a final slate is announced. Ballots are counted by at least two members of the Elections Committee at a time and place of their choosing. The Elections Committee certifies the results to the Board of Trustees and publishes the results. A challenge period is provided for. In the cases of a challenge, the CEO, after consultation with the chairs of the Nominations Committee, Elections Committee and members of the Board of Trustees, advises the author of a challenge about the Board's decision and the challenge period closes. The new trustees are seated at the following annual general meeting (AGM).
Form 990 Review Process	Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11B The Internet Society's accounting firm prepares and signs the return as paid preparer and delivers the return to the Internet Society. Prior to filing, the CFO and the CEO of the Internet Society review the return with the Audit Committee elected by the Board of Trustees. A representative of the independent accounting firm's tax team is present to address any questions from the audit committee members. After review, a copy of the return in its final form is sent to each member of the Board of Trustees prior to filing the return. The CEO or the CFO signs Form 8879EO, the IRS E-File Signature Authorization form, and returns this form to the Internet Society's accounting firm. The accounting firm then electronically files the return with the Internal Revenue Service.
Conflict of Interest Policy Monitoring & Enforcement	Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12C Annually, Trustees and Officers of Internet Society fill out a conflict of interest questionnaire; these completed questionnaires are reviewed and monitored by the Audit Committee, and the results are reported to the Board of Trustees. The Audit Committee and the chair of ISOC's Board of Trustees rely on the trustees and officers to inform them of issues that might arise in the interim period between questionnaire submissions. Key employees also complete conflict of interest questionnaires, which are reviewed by the CEO. At the beginning of each Board meeting, the chair solicits all trustees to disclose any conflicts with the agenda items for that board meeting. Trustees who report potential conflicts may be required to abstain from any formal decision by the Board of Trustees, and may be required to retire from any discussion or deliberation. The Board of Trustees, acting as a body led by the chair, makes the determination of whether a conflict exists and the participation restrictions to be imposed. Should the chair be determined to have a conflict, an acting chair or the CEO is appointed for the affected deliberation before the Board of Trustees.
Compensation Review & Approval Process for Officers & Key Employees	Part VI, Section B, Lines 15A & 15B The Internet Society engaged a compensation specialist to establish a comprehensive compensation program for the Company. The goals were to establish internal compensation equity, achieve external equity to ensure fair and competitive pay, to develop an objective merit review process, and develop tools to maintain the compensation program. The Internet Society developed compensation benchmarks for each position within the organization, using several compensation studies for U.S. based employees and benchmarks from Mercer Towers Watson for worldwide employees. These benchmarks are updated annually. In 2012, the Internet Society obtained independent compensation studies for the Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Internet Technology Officer. The compensation of the Chief Executive Officer was established in a contract February 1, 2011. As part of the contract process, Towers Watson was engaged by the Internet Society Board of Trustees to provide an opinion on reasonableness of and supporting comparability data with respect to total compensation of the Chief Executive Officer. The CEO receives the benefits available to other Internet Society employees, including a company contribution toward a retirement plan. Annually, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees draws up achievement targets for the CEO. The CEO submits a self-evaluation at year-end to the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee reviews her performance and makes a determination as to the amount of variable compensation earned. The Compensation Committee then instructs the Internet Society's CFO to pay the award, less applicable statutory withholdings. The Internet Society employs a goal management process to establish and track goals for all members of its staff. Staff members fill out self evaluations, followed by an evaluation by their manager, and a meeting is held between the employee and their respective manager to discuss their previous year's achievements and current year's goals. The Internet Society has established the practice to review performance of all employees on a common review date of December 31. Annual salary reviews are based on these performance evaluations, compensation surveys, and standards for the individual country of employment. The Internet Society also awards variable compensation to staff based on individual and corporate performance during the year. These awards were determined in consultation with the compensation consultant, based on recommendations by the CEO, CFO and awardees' direct supervisors.
