PACIFICA NATIONAL BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Under the Foundation bylaws, a Delegate must have served at least one
year as a Delegate to be eligible for election to the office of
Director. The Delegates at each station elect four Directors each year
for one-year terms, one of whom is a staff representative Delegate.
The bylaws do not address what is to be done if no eligible candidate
is willing to serve in a membership category at a station. Eventually,
the situation will likely arise, probably in the staff category, where
Delegates from a station will waive the one-year service requirement
in order to maintain their full complement of Directors.

In addition to Directors chosen by the Delegates, the PNB elects two
Affiliate Representative Directors and may optionally resolve to add a
maximum of one additional seat for an At-Large Director.

PNB STANDING COMMITTEES

Under the Rules of Order, committee members serve until replaced. At
it's January PNB meeting, the Pacifica National Board replaced the
Director members of its standing committees. The Delegate members of
these committees serve until replaced by their Local Station Boards,
though some are no longer Delegates. Most or all LSBs have not yet
elected replacement Delegate represetatives to PNB committees for the
new term and this is a high priority. Except for the Coordinating
Committee, the Finance Committee, and the Committees of Inclusion,
each standing committee my have two Delegate representative from each
station area.

Pursuant to a PNB rule, committee members are removed after three
consecutive absences (except for the officers on the Coordinating
Committee and the LSB Treasurers on the Finance Committee, who hold
those positions with bylaws authority). Meetings that fail to achieve
quorum should keep a record of attendance so that vacancies may be
claimed to have been created under the PNB rule and so eventually
allow committee quorum to be achieved and business to be conducted.
Except for rare closed sessions dedicated to or predominantly
regarding matters that may be handled as confidential under open
meeting requirements, all PNB and PNB standing committee meetings are
webstreamed.

Audit Committee
(Members of the PNB Finance Committee may not simultaneously serve on
the PNB Audit Committee. Under the California Nonprofit Integrity
Act, staff may not serve on the Audit Committee. A legal opinion is
needed to determine if this prohibition extends to those that Pacifica
calls "unpaid staff," since the restriction may only apply to
employees of the Foundation.)
