1) Not seeking prior approval from the Board for any administrative fee(s) or charge(s) and/or personal compensation. (It was noted that Jim Schneider was present at the January 18, 2001 Board meeting at which Jim Morrow sought approval to sell duplicate books and retain 40% of the profits, therefore Jim Schneider was aware of the need for prior approval.) It was again made clear at that time that prior disclosure was necessary to comply with Article 4.5 of ONE’s Bylaws and Article lX(a) and (b) of the Articles of Incorporation.
2) Not disclosing in his request for re-imbursement(s), an “administrative fee” and/or charge(s) for his time, in contravention of Article 4.5 of the ONE Institute Bylaws.
3) Substantially exceeding (by more than 10%,) the Board approved budgets without prior authorization or notification to the Board or any member of the OPS committee. The Board had expressed at its November 11, 2000 meeting concern about the “recurring situation of approval for unbudgeted expenses after the fact rather than obtaining approval prior to incurring expenses.”
