 * Compensation committee proposal
   * The GNOME Foundation board is recommended by US law to have a compensation committee that evaluates the executive director's compensation package based on research of other comparable nonprofit organizations, and prepares a yearly report where they propose updates if applicable. This committee was created earlier this year and has now prepared a report, which was discussed among the board without the GNOME Foundation staff present.
