ExplanationThe Amended Articles of Incorporation of the Foundation provide that a majority of the Foundation's board of directors is nominated by the Museum's board of directors and approved by the then sitting members of the Foundation's board. As a majority of the members of the Foundation's board are and will always be members of the Museum's board, the practical effect of this requirement is to ensure that a majority of the members of the Foundation's board are appointed by members of the Museum's board.ExplanationTxt
