UNDER THIS GUIDANCE, USGBC MAY RECOGNIZE THE TAX BENEFIT FROM AN UNCERTAIN TAX POSITION ONLY IF IT IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT THAT THE TAX POSITION WILL BE SUSTAINED ON EXAMINATION BY TAXING AUTHORITIES, BASED ON THE TECHNICAL MERITS OF THE POSITION. THE TAX BENEFITS RECOGNIZED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FROM SUCH A POSITION ARE MEASURED BASED ON THE LARGEST BENEFIT THAT HAS A GREATER THAN 50% LIKELIHOOD OF BEING REALIZED UPON ULTIMATE SETTLEMENT. THE GUIDANCE ON ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES ALSO ADDRESSES DE-RECOGNITION, CLASSIFICATION, INTEREST AND PENALTIES ON INCOME TAXES, AND ACCOUNTING IN INTERIM PERIODS. MANAGEMENT EVALUATED USGBC'S TAX POSITIONS AND CONCLUDED THAT USGBC HAD TAKEN NO UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS THAT REQUIRE ADJUSTMENT TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TO COMPLY WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THIS GUIDANCE. GENERALLY, USGBC IS NO LONGER SUBJECT TO INCOME TAX EXAMINATIONS BY THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL TAX AUTHORITIES FOR YEARS BEFORE 2009.

FROM KINDERGARTEN TO COLLEGE AND BEYOND, THE CENTER WORKS DIRECTLY WITH STAFF, TEACHERS, FACULTY, STUDENTS, AMBASSADORS, ELECTED OFFICIALS ANDCOMMUNITIES TO DRIVE THE TRANSFORMATION OF ALL SCHOOLS INTO SUSTAINABLE PLACES TO LIVE AND LEARN, WORK AND PLAY.
	FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 4	(1) DATE CHANGES APPROVED BY BOARD OF DIRECTORS: 29 FEBRUARY 2012 REASON(S) FOR CHANGES: NECESSARY BASED ON DC COUNCIL'S ADOPTION OF A WHOLESALE REVISED STATUTORY SCHEME FOR THE DC NONPROFIT CORPORATION ACT SUMMARY OF CHANGES: MEMBERSHIP ACTION: THE MOST SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN THE DC NONPROFIT CODE AS IT APPLIES TO MEMBERSHIP ORGANIZATIONS IS THE REQUIREMENT TO PUT THE RATIONALE AND PROCESS FOR TERMINATION OF MEMBERSHIP INTO THE BYLAWS (DC CODE SECTION 29-404.02). WHILE USGBC HAD ADOPTED BOTH REASONS AND A PROCESS FOR MEMBERSHIP TERMINATION, BOTH RESIDED IN THE MEMBERSHIP POLICIES AND PROCEDURES RATHER THAN THE BYLAWS. WE RECOMMEND PLACING THE RELEVANT CURRENT USGBC POLICIES AND PROCESS INTO THE BYLAWS IN ARTICLE II, SECTIONS 2-3, AS MARKED. MEMBER MEETINGS: ANOTHER CHANGE TO THE LAW IS THAT "CHAT ROOM" ANNUAL MEETING ARE NOW PERMITTED (DC CODE SECTION 29-405.01(E)), SO WE SUGGEST PROVIDING FOR THAT ALTERNATIVE IN ARTICLE III OF THE BYLAWS. BOARD OF DIRECTORS: ARTICLE IV HAS BEEN REVISED TO REFLECT THE CURRENT COMPOSITION OF THE BOARD, AND TO REMOVE "TRANSITION" LANGUAGE REFLECTIVE OF THE CHANGE OF BOARD COMPOSITION INITIATED IN 2009. FURTHER, IN SECTION 2, A STREAMLINED STATEMENT OF BOARD RESPONSIBILITIES WAS PUT IN PLACE TO REFLECT THE LANGUAGE OF THE NEW DC NONPROFIT CORPORATION CODE. OFFICERS: SECTION 7 WAS MODIFIED TO CLARIFY THAT REMOVAL OF AN OFFICER REQUIRE A 2/3RDS AFFIRMATIVE VOTE OF THE ENTIRE BOARD, RATHER THAN SIMPLY A VOTE OF 2/3RDS OF THOSE BOARD MEMBERS PRESENT AND VOTING. (2) DATE CHANGES APPROVED BY BOARD OF DIRECTORS: 12 APRIL 2012 REASON(S) FOR CHANGES: TO ACHIEVE AN EVEN ROTATION OF FIVE OPEN ELECTED SEATS PER YEAR ON THE BOARD IN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THE 15 CORE PERSPECTIVES AND A FAIRLY FIXED NUMBER OF DIRECTORS ON THE BOARD SUMMARY OF CHANGES: ADDING A TIME-LIMITED AMENDMENT TO ARTICLE IV, SECTION 4 - TERMS SECTION 4 - TERM: TERMS FOR ELECTED DIRECTORS SHALL BE THREE (3) YEARS AND UNTIL THEIR SUCCESSORS ARE CHOSEN, WHICHEVER IS LATER. (NEW) SECTION 4A - TERM FOR "PUBLIC HEALTH" BOARD SEAT: THE TERM OF THE BOARD SEAT DESIGNATED IN 2011 TO BE A PUBLIC HEALTH SEAT ENDS ON DECEMBER 31, 2012. THIS BYLAWS PROVISION 4A IS TEMPORARY AND SHALL EXPIRE AND AUTOMATICALLY BE DELETED FROM THE USGBC BYLAWS ON DECEMBER 31, 2012. (3) DATE CHANGES APPROVED BY BOARD OF DIRECTORS: 23 JULY 2012 (EFFECTIVE 1 OCTOBER 2012) REASON(S) FOR CHANGES: TO ALIGN WITH BOARD-APPROVED CHANGES TO THE MEMBERSHIP DUES STRUCTURE SUMMARY OF CHANGES: REVISIONS (TO ARTICLE II - MEMBERSHIP, SECTION 1 - MEMBERS) TO PROVIDE EXAMPLES OF REGULAR MEMBERS RATHER THAN AN EXHAUSTIVE LIST OF MEMBER CATEGORIES (I.E., CHANGING THE FIRST SENTENCE FROM "MEMBERSHIP ORGANIZATIONS ("MEMBERS)" OF USGBC ARE DIVIDED INTO THE FOLLOWING MEMBERSHIP GROUPS ("MEMBERSHIP GROUPS") FOR ORGANIZATIONAL PURPOSES" TO "ANY ORGANIZATION, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE FOLLOWING, MAY APPLY TO BECOME A REGULAR MEMBER OF USGBC ("MEMBER)").
