| Explanation | Effective in 2009, Internet Society and Public Interest Registry 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 probably and reasonably estimable in accordance with guidance concerning recording contingencies. | Explanation |

| IdentifierIdentifier | ExplanationExplanation |
|---|---|
| Schedule J, Part II | Since Internet Society reports expenses in U.S. dollars but pays staff in local currency, the declining exchange rate of the U.S. dollar increased reported 2010 compensation figures for many of those staff members paid in other currencies. Column B (ii) represents the amount of ISOC's Variable Compensation Plan earned in 2009 (the prior calendar year), but paid in 2010. See explanation of Column C and Column F as related to additional variable compensation information. 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 2010 (current tax year) but paid in 2011. Since Column B(ii) reports the 2009 variable compensation (as paid in 2010) and Column C reports the 2010 variable compensation (to be paid in the 2011 - the next tax year), total compensation reported on this tax return includes two years of variable compensation (2009 and 2010). 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 2009 (prior tax year) and paid in 2010 (current tax year). |
| 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 Schedule J, Part II, Column C 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 2010, as part of her employment agreement, Lynn St. Amour was paid a variable compensation component of $109,918 earned in 2009 and reflected in column B(ii). Ms. St. Amour also earned a variable compensation component of $122,196 in 2010, paid in 2011 and reflected in Column C. Therefore, Schedule J, Part II (as well as 990 Part VII, Column F) report two years of variable compensation in this 2010 tax return. |

A year later, Mr. Wijnen joined the staff of RIPE NCC. Daniel Karrenberg, an ISOC Trustee since 2005, is a member of the RIPE's senior management team. Both individuals have reported this business relationship to ISOC's Board of Trustees on annual disclosure forms. The ISOC's Board has determined that this business relationship does not constitute a conflict of interest. Mr. Wijnen was appointed to a second term on ISOC's Board of Trustees by the IAB in July 2011 and Mr. Karrenberg completed his second full term on ISOC's Board in July 2011 and is no longer a Trustee. |
| 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, or government contributors to ISOC's overall charitable mission. Individual members may be sustaining members or global members. Both levels give 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 or appointment of trustees, and elections procedures provide for organizational members, chapters and the Internet Architecture Board (IAB) to appoint or elect trustees. 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. 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 any petitions 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 for 30 days. Candidates are allowed to submit biographical information and an election statement. After 30 days, the petition period closes and a final slate is announced. Ballots are distributed and must be returned in 28 days. At the 28th day, voting closes and at least two member of the Elections Committee count the ballots at a time and place of their choosing. Within 10 days after the close of the election process, the Elections Committee certifies the results to the Board of Trustees and publishes the results. 20 days is allowed for challenges to the election. 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 challenges about the Board's decision and the challenge period closes. The new trustees are seated at the Board of Trustees meeting following the 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 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 the return and files by certified mail with the Internal Revenue Service. |
| Explanation of Monitoring and Enforcement of Conflicts | Part VI, Section B, Line 12C | Annually, Trustees, Officers and key employees 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, officers and key employees to inform them of issues that might arise in the interim period between questionnaire submissions. 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 Internet Society engaged a compensation specialist in 2009 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 2010, the Internet Society obtained independent compensation studies for the Chief Financial Officer as a statutory officer of the Internet Society. The contract of the Chief Executive Officer was established in February 2006, under a five-year contract, and will be reviewed in the following year. 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 reviews and compensation surveys. The Internet Society also awards variable compensation to staff based on individual 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 2006, replacing a prior employment contract. The CEO is to receive a base compensation to be paid monthly, and is eligible for annual variable compensation equal to 30% of the base compensation. The contract provides for a fixed annual increase through its expiration date of February 2011. The CEO receives no additional compensation other than benefits available to other Internet Society employees, including a company contribution toward its retirement plan. Annually, the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees draws up achievement targets for the CEO. The CEO submits a self-evaluation at year-end to the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee reviews her performance and makes a determination as to the amount of variable compensation earned. The Executive Committee then instructs the Internet Society's CFO to pay the award, less applicable statutory withholdings. The corporation engaged the Hay Group, a global management and human resource consulting firm and PriceWaterhouseCoopers to help review and establish a compensation package for its CEO. Besides compensation benchmarks, the Hay Group and PriceWaterhouseCoopers suggested work valuation, role design and performance management techniques based on job evaluation methodology form their database of the 8,000 organizations they work with worldwide. The Internet Society also used information and advice from Guidestar and American Research Corporation to determine compensation for the CEO. See schedule j for further discussion of reported compensation for the ceo. |
