General Explanation	The Internet Society is a non profit charitable and educational organization founded in 1992 to provide leadership in internet related standards, education, and policy. With offices in Washington D.C., USA, and Geneva, Switzerland, it is dedicated to ensuring the open development, evolution and use of the internet for the benefit of people throughout the world. Internet Society qualifies as publicly supported because it meets the "10% plus facts and circumstances" under the Treas. Reg 1.170A-9(E)(3) in the following respects: 1. 10% of support limitation. Internet Society's public support fraction is 14.57% well above the 10% threshold. 2. Attraction of public support. Internet Society is organized and operated to attract new and additional support on a continuous basis. ISOC involves both individual and corporate members in its activities. 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 more than 52,000 individual 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 120 organizations, including nonprofits and universities, and more than 52,000 individual members. Its programs and activities have broad public appeal to members of the public, around the globe, that share an interest in the promotion of an open, stable and globally accessible Internet infrastructure worldwide. 4. Representative governing body. Internet Society is governed by a thirteen member Board of Trustees. In addition to its President, who is an ex officio nonvoting member, there are twelve trustees from nine different countries including United States, Australia, Uruguay, Sweden, Tunisia, Benin, New Zealand, Belgium, and the Netherlands. These individuals all have significant backgrounds in issues involving the Internet community. 5. Availability of public facilities or services; public participation in programs or policies. 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 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. The Internet Society's goal is to enhance the availability and utility of the Internet on the widest possible scale.	GeneralExplanation

Explanation	ISOC follows the accounting guidance that creates a single model to address uncertainty in income tax positions and clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognizd in its consolidated financial statements. Under the requirements of this guidance, organizations could now be required to record an obligation as the result of income tax positions they have historically taken on various tax exposure items. ISOC is not required to record such an obligation.	Explanation

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 2012 (current tax year) but paid in 2013. Since Column B(ii) reports the 2011 variable compensation (as paid in 2012) and Column C reports the 2012 variable compensation (to be paid in the 2013 - the next tax year), total compensation reported on this tax return includes two years of variable compensation (2011 and 2012). 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 2011 (prior tax year) and paid in 2012 (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 2011, as part of her employment agreement, Lynn St. Amour was paid a variable compensation component of $146,673 earned in 2011 and reflected in column B(ii). Ms. St. Amour also earned a bonus compensation component of $110,000 in 2012, paid in 2013 and reflected in Column C along with retirement benefits paid to Ms. St Amour. Therefore, Schedule J, Part II (as well as 990 Part VII, Column F) report two years of variable compensation in this 2012 tax return.

Explanation of Member or Stockholders	Part VI, Section A, Line 6	The Internet Society by-laws provide for the recognition of organizational members and individual members. 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. Global membership is free to all individuals, while sustaining members make a contribution to ISOC. Individual members may also belong to one of ISOC's chapters, but are not required to do so.
Explanation of Election of Governing Body by Members or Stockholders	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 distributed and must be returned in 28 days. Voting closes and at least two member of the Elections Committee count the ballots 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 any 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	Part VI, Section B, Line 11A	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 reviews 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.
Explanation of Monitoring and Enforcement of Conflicts	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, Line 15A & 15B	The compensation of the Chief Executive Officer was established in a contract February 1, 2011. 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. 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 sources of comparability data utilized by Towers Watson were Mercer Executive Compensation Survey-2010, PRM Consulting Group-2010 Management Compensation Survey Report for Non-Profit Organizations, Towers Watson Data Services-2010/2011 Top Management Compensation Report and Towers Watson Data Services-2010 General Industry Report for Switzerland. The Internet Society's Human Resources Department also procured two additional compensation studies, American Research Company US Compensation Study and Guidestar Survey for US non-profit organizations. The Internet Society employs a goal management system 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. Additional information on the compensation of the CEO: The Internet Society entered into an employment contract with its CEO in February 2011, replacing an expiring employment contract. The CEO is to receive a base compensation to be paid monthly, and is eligible for annual variable compensation equal to 35% of the base compensation. The contract provides for a fixed annual increase through its expiration date of January 31, 2014. The Internet Society also contributes to a 457(b) deferred compensation plan to provide retirement income under certain circumstances. 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 corporation engaged Towers Watson, a global management and human resource consulting firm, to review and establish a compensation package for its CEO. Towers Watson used benchmark studies from Mercer, PRM Consulting Group, and two of its own studies (Swiss Report and Top Management Report). Besides compensation benchmarks, Towers Watson reviewed the proposed CEO contract to ensure other provisions of the contract were within total compensation standards. The Internet Society also used information and advice from Guidestar and American Research Corporation to determine compensation for the CEO.
