THE VOYAGE WAS ORGANIZED TO ALLOW PARTICIPANTS TO WITNESS THE CLIMATE CRISIS FIRSTHAND. . . . . . CHANGES IN BY-LAWS PART VI - GOVERNANCE, MANAGEMENT AND DISCLOSURE - QUESTION 4: At its November 2011 meeting, the Board of Directors passed a resolution to amend the organization's bylaws in anticipation of changes to the District of Columbia's nonprofit law that took effect in January 2012. The new law authorized two types of committees: Board Committees, comprised of only directors, and Advisory Committees, which may include persons who are not directors. The new law also provided that the Board could delegate some of its powers to a new type of governance group called a "designated body" and also changed the requirements regarding corporate officers. Accordingly, to comply with new law, the organization's bylaws were amended to designate its Audit Committee as an advisory committee with authority only to advise the Board rather than act on its behalf, given this committee's inclusion of non-director members. The organization's bylaws were also amended to allow the Board to create a "designated body" if it so desired in the future and to allow for a Chief Operating Officer for the organization. . . .
