Members or Stockholders Who May Elect	Form 990, Part VI, Line 6	Membership in WECC is voluntary. Any organization may become a member of WECC as long as eligibility criteria have been met as outlined in the bylaws. There are 7 Classes of members based upon the activities of the member organization. Members of WECC have the right to elect and remove Directors, amend Bylaws and to review and rescind any Board amendment of the Bylaws as well as the right to attend and participate in meetings and committees.
Decisions Subject to Approval	Form 990, Part VI, Line 7b	Changes to the WECC bylaws, sections 6.2 and 6.10, section 13.1 and appendix C require the approval of the full membership of WECC. Such changes are voted upon by the membership, then ratified by the board. In addition, all changes to the WECC bylaws, WECC's delegation agreement, and WECC reliability standards require approval by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). WECC's budget and business plan also require approval by both NERC and FERC. Such items are sent to the NERC Board of Trustees for ratification. The NERC Board of Trustees then files them with FERC for approval.
Form 990 Review Process	Form 990, Part VI, Line 11a	Once the return has been prepared by the tax preparer, the controller reviews the Form 990 for errors or omissions and any necessary changes are made. A copy is also given to the CEO to review.
Conflict of Interest Policy Monitoring & Enforcement	Form 990, Part VI, Line 12c	The purpose of WECC's conflict of interest policy is to ensure it is able to appropriately carry out its duties and responsibilities free from undue influence, or the appearance of undue influence, or any action that would constrain, or appear to constrain independence. The policy applies to all Directors, staff and contractors. Any potential conflict of interest must be reported to the CEO, legal department or the WECC hotline. The CEO will consult with the Legal Department about any reported Conflict of Interest. The general counsel will advise the reporting director (or other individual) regarding whether the activity is a conflict or may give the appearance of a conflict of interest and then take appropriate action to remedy the potential conflict, including recusal of the director by written notice if deemed necessary.
Process for Determining Compensation	Form 990, Part VI, Line 15a	Each year the CEO prepares a self-assessment comparing his performance to the goals set for the year by the board. The self-assessment is reviewed by the human resources and compensation committee (HRCC). HRCC then solicits input on the CEO's performance from the board. HRCC reviews all input and assigns a performance rating. Based on the performance rating, a recommended increase in salary is proposed to the board taking into account the budget and any available market data (Market data is sought every three to four years). The board reviews the information and approves or rejects the proposed salary for the CEO.
Process for Determining Compensation	Form 990, Part VI, Line 15b	Each year the General Counsel/Corporate Secretary and Key Employees prepare self-assessments comparing their performance to the goals set for the year by the CEO or their Manager. Each self-assessment is reviewed by the CEO or their Manager. The CEO or their Manager also assesses the General Counsel/Corporate Secretary's or Key Employee's performance ratings. Based on the performance ratings, a recommended increase in salary is proposed to the HRCC taking into account the budget and any available market data (market data is sought every three to four years). The HRCC reviews the information and approves or rejects the proposed salary for the General Counsel/Corporate Secretary and Key Employees reporting directly to the CEO.
