The Board shall select its own Chair or Co-Chairs and may adopt such procedures as may be necessary for its administration. Unless otherwise provided in this memorandum, all decisions shall be made by majority vote. Members will receive no compensation for their participation on the Board. Other organizations may appoint members if each of the founding organizations approves. The Board may consider the addition of liaison representatives to the Board. A liaison representative shall represent an organization that is not a founding organization, but that has an interest in a relevant legal subject. A liaison representative may participate in meetings and communications on topics that the Board is considering. Neither the Board nor any founding organization is responsible for expenses incurred by any liaison representative for Board purposes. Liaison representatives may not vote on issues that the Board considers. Liaison representatives may be appointed without any financial contribution to the Board. 2. Independent Consultants. The Board may contract with consultants only if approved by each of the founding organizations. Any person so engaged shall be an independent contractor and not an employee of the Board or any of the founding organizations. The Board shall negotiate compensation for any person engaged as a consultant, but must obtain the approval of each of the founding organizations before compensation is fixed. Compensation for consultants may be presented as part of the process of obtaining approval of the Board's annual budget. 3. Purposes.
