accounting for uncertainty in income taxes	The Council on Foreign Relations has adopted the provisions of accounting standard codification ("ASC") 740, "accounting for uncertainties in income taxes." Asc 740-10 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return including issues relating to financial statement recognition and measurement. This section provides that the tax effect from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the financial statements only if the position is "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. The assessment of the tax position is based solely on the technical merits of the position, without regard to the likelihood that the tax position may be challenged. CFR is exempt from federal and new York state income taxation by virtue of being an organization described in section 501 (c)(3) of the IRC and similar provisions of the New York State tax code. Nevertheless, CFR may be subjected to tax on income unrelated to its exempt purpose, unless that income is otherwise excluded by the code. CFR believes that there are no material uncertain tax positions within its financial statements.
Form 990, Schedule D, Part V	The Council holds a substantial endowment for the purposes of funding future programmatic activities, including seminars, publications, website activities and more. The Council's endowment principal shall be left untouched, with the earnings on the investments to be appropriated for expenditures consistent with the Council's tax-exempt mission.

Explanation	The Council on Foreign Relations Fellowship Program offers unique opportunities for mid and senior career professionals focusing on international relations. Selected fellows have the opportunity to broaden their perspective of foreign affairs either by pursuing research or working in a policy-oriented setting. The International Affairs Fellowship (IAF) is the hallmark fellowship program of CFR that aims to bridge the gap between the study and making of U.S. foreign policy by creating the next generation of scholar-practitioners. The program offers its fellows the unique chance to experience a new field and gain a different perspective at a pivotal moment in their careers.The fellowship term is usually twelve months; the fellows are paid in equal monthly installments during the year. The Council does not monitor the use of the grant funds as an individual will only receive his or her monthly installment so long as they demonstrate compliance with the terms of the fellowship program.

A DRAFT COPY OF THE FORM 990 IS REVIEWED BY THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD AND REVISED AS NECESSARY WITH THEIR INPUT.

The Audit Committee reviews each reported potential conflict of interest and reports it recommendations regarding the reported matters to the full Board for approval.

Potential conflicts of interest are addressed immediately upon reporting.
form 990, part vi, line 15a & 15b	process for determining compensation The Council on Foreign Relations undertakes a thorough process to ensure that the executive compensation paid to its officers and key employees, including the President, is reasonable, given the market in which the organization operates. The Compensation Committee of the Board, which is composed of independent persons that have no personal interest in the proposed compensation, undertakes an annual review and approval of compensation. To assist their deliberations, the Compensation Committee regularly engages an independent compensation consultant to complete a market assessment and competitive position analysis for the organization's officers and key employees, including the President. The compensation consultant utilizes comparability and benchmarking surveys, as well as Form 990s of comparable organizations, to ensure that the Council compensates its executives commensurate with the market. Compensation decisions and reports are contemporaneously documented in the minutes of the meeting of the Compensation Committee.
