Board Compensation

[Michele Neylon - Blacknight <michele@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you for putting this out for public comment.

I am submitting this comment in my personal capacity.

The report / presentation about board compensation across a variety of 
different organisations, as well as the time commitments made by board members 
is very useful and enlightening.

It only seems reasonable that board members are compensated for their time and 
effort. 
A lack of compensation, as has been argued in the past when the initial topic 
of compensation came up, can lead to many able candidates for board positions 
being unable to apply for a role.
In the case of the liaisons who bring specific subject matter expertise to the 
board compensation should be available.

It would also be helpful to understand why the GAC representative is excluded 
from this ie. Provide some rationale 

Regards

Michele
