part-time paid employee of a Foundation radio station; or (2) any<br />
member of a Foundation radio station "Unpaid Staff Organization" or<br />
"Unpaid Staff Collective Bargaining Unit" which has been recognized<br />
by station management, or, if the station has neither such<br />
organization or bargaining unit, then any volunteer or unpaid staff<br />
member of a Foundation radio station who has worked for said radio<br />
station at least 30 hours in the preceding 3 months, exclusive of<br />
fundraising marathon telephone room volunteer time. Said volunteer<br />

Pacifica Board Chair and iED Grace Aaron is to be commended for her well<br />
planned and decisive intervention in the WBAI crisis. The PNB supports this<br />
action and grants all authority to her as iED to turn WBAI around and<br />
reinvent itself as a powerful mission driven radio station by and for the<br />
entire progressive left of the greater New York City area.<br />
<br />
The PNB shall seek a contractual undertaking from iEd Grace Aaron that<br />
she shall remain in her position as iEd for the remainder of her term as<br />
PNB chair, or until a permanent Executive Director shall be hired, and that<br />
she shall be paid normal compensation for an ED for the period since she<br />
assumed the position of iED.<br />
<br />
The PNB shall waive any conflict of interest considerations and may<br />
consider PNB chair and iEd Grace Aaron a candidate for permanent Executive<br />
Director provided that Ms. Aaron recuse herself from any deliberations or<br />
vote involving herself.Sherna Gluck<br />

*_Motion on Funding Disclosure_*<br />
<br />
All programmers, program providers, collectives, and/or independent production companies who have a program at any<br />
station of the Pacifica Network and which recieve outside (i.e. non-Pacifica) funding from any source in excess of $5000<br />
per year for the production of their program shall disclose to the GM of their respective station the source of that<br />
funding, the amounts of money received or promised, and any contractural or grant agreements related to that funding for<br />
that current year. The GM shall forthwith report that information to the Pacifica Executive Director who shall hold such<br />
information in trust as a public record.<br />
<br />
Any programmer, program provider, program collective and/or independent production company whose program is syndicated<br />
or shared by more than one Pacifica station and who recieves outside funding from any source in excess of $5000 per year<br />
for the production of their program shall disclose to the Pacifica ED the source of that funding, the amounts of money<br />
received or promised and any contractual or grant agreements related to that funding for that current year. The ED shall<br />
hold that information in trust as a public record.<br />
<br />
In the case of a programmer whose outside funding is in excess of $25,000 for the current year, such disclosure should<br />
be for a period of not less than three years prior to the date of the passage of this motion by the Pacifica National<br />
Board, provided they have been a programmer or program provider for that period.<br />
<br />
Any waiver to this requirement must have the written consent of the GM of the respective station, and the ratification<br />
of that consent by the respective LSB, such as in the case of a purchased or syndicated program where compliance is not<br />
practical, or the written consent of the ED and the ratification of that consent by the PNB when appropriate in the case<br />
of a program aired on more than one Pacifica station.<br />
