Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS), a division of the American Chemical Society, is the world's leader in providing scientists online and Web access to chemistry-related research data . CAS produces the world's largest and most comprehensive databases of chemical information and makes them available through sophisticated search and analysis software for the use of scientists engaged m new product and patent research, as well as academic research in the world's leading universities . The CAS databases include more than 22 million abstracts of chemistry-related literature and patents and more than 22.3 million organic and inorganic substance records Attachment No. 7 (Page 4 of 5)
AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY TIN#: 53-0196572 DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACTIVITIES
CAS was founded in 1907 with the aim of monitoring, abstracting, and indexing the world's chemistry-related literature. This aim was first accomplished through the well known panted reference work CHEMICAL ABSTRACTS (CA), which CAS continues to publish after more than 97 years. CAS began to develop computer-based publication technologies in the 1960's in order to automate the publication of CA. Today, CAS editorial processes apply the best advantages of document analysis by highly trained scientists and the benefits of advanced information technology.
CAS indexes and abstracts patents, articles from approximately 9,000 scientific journals, conference proceedings, and other documents pertinent to chemistry. CA is the only comprehensive reference work of its kind In 2003 alone, CAS scientists provided abstracts and indexing for more than 814,000 journal articles, patents, and other research materials, CAS Registry Numbers and substance records for more than 1 .65 million organic and inorganic chemicals and 13.8 million sequences Through the panted CA, CA on CD, the STN International online network, the CAS files distributed through licensed vendors, the SciFinder and SciFinder Scholar desktop research tools, and the STN Easy or STN on the Web services, data produced by CAS is accessible to virtually any scientific researcher worldwide in industry, governmental research institutions, and academia. Substance identification is a special strength of CAS, and CAS is widely known for the CAS Chemical Registry, the largest substance identification system in existence. When a chemical substance is newly encountered in the literature processed by CAS, its molecular structure diagram, systematic chemical name, molecular formula, and other identifying information are recorded in the Registry and assigned a unique CAS Registry Number. CAS Registry Numbers are used in reference works, databases, and regulatory compliance documents by many organizations around the world to identify substances without the ambiguity of chemical nomenclature.
The Publications Division executes all primary publishing activities for the ACS.

The Society became the recipient of income distributions from investments held by the ACS Petroleum Research Fund (the Fund), when a perpetual trust was established m 1944 by seven oil companies . The purpose of the Fund is to advance scientific education and fundamental research in the petroleum field. The Fund corpus is held inviolate and through December 2000 was managed by a third-party.
In January 2002, as a result of an effort to petition the State of New York to increase the annual distributions from the Fund, the ACS was given complete control over the ACS Petroleum Research Attachment No. 7 (Page 5 of 5)

& Engineering News Comment that Dr. Stang co-authored with Board member Paul R. Jones . Dr. Stang also reported that the committee has in place a reimbursement program for President-Elect norrunees to help defray expenses incurred when traveling to national meetings to appear before Council. He stated that the committee voted to establish a candidate website on chemistry.org that contains candidate biographies, statements, and photos, as well as links to the candidates' personal websites.
Dr. Stang reported that N&E will conduct a survey of a randomly selected subset of the membership to solicit feedback on the current level of satisfaction with the nomination, campaign, and election processes. He stated that the Town Hall Meeting for President-Elect 2004 nominees was successful, and that another Town Hall Meeting is planned for the upcoming New York meeting
Dr. Stang closed his comments by staring that the committee also developed slates of potential candidates for election to the Council Policy Committee and the Committee on Committees for the years 2004-20Q6 .
Council Policy Committee (CPC)
Merle I. Eiss, committee vice chair, brought three items to the Council's attention. The first was a recommendation from the CPC Task Force on Ethics. Ms. Etss reported that CPC voted to recommend to the Committee on Committees that they explore the possibility of establishing a committee on ethics.
Next, Ms . Eiss stated that CPC was asked to review various issues of caucus operations such as timing of meetings and how best to meet the presidential candidates. She stated that CPC worked with N&E on the Town Hall Meeting, and that it was very successful. Another Town Hall Meeting will be held in New York on Sunday before the caucuses meet, and in close physical proximity to them.
The third item of business included action on the Petition for Division and Local Section Funding. Ms. Eiss presented a slide and offered a handout on the most frequently asked questions about the petition. She noted that CPC's earlier concerns about the need for more information and advanced review of the distribution formulas from the Committee on Local Section Activities (LSAC) and the Committee on Divisional Activities (DAC) had been met. Ms. Eiss stated that this information appeared in the Councilor Bulletin and on the web, and that CPC had voted unanimously to support the petition.
Next Ms . Eiss called on Dr. Elizabeth Derrick, chair, Committee on Constitution and Bylaws to present the petition. Dr. Derrick stated that the Petition for Division and Local Section Funding is a proposed amendment to Article XII, Section 7-A, Article XII, Section 4-A, B, and C; Article XV, Section 4 and 5 ; Bylaw III, Section 3-D 1, C, N and VI; D, 1-VU, Bylaw VII, Section 8 and 9-A; Bylaw VIII, Section 6, and Bylaw XII, Section 3 .
Dr. Derrick reported that the committees on Divisional Activities, Local Section Activities, Meetings and Expositions, Budget and Finance and the Council Policy Committee endorsed the petition. The Committee on Membership Affairs opposes the petition. Dr. Derrick reminded the Council that action will be taken on the petition as a whole, and that a two-thirds vote would be required to pass the constitutional and bylaw amendments and the proviso.
5. VOTED, on the recommendation of the Council Policy Committee, to approve the Petition for Division and Local Section Funding.
Ms. Eiss stated that the petition is subject to ratification by the Board of Directors and by the Society's membership. Ballots would normally be sent with election ballots in the fall of the year. She reminded Councilors that delaying the vote of the membership until then, however, would postpone mailing of dues renewal notices by eight to ten weeks. The delay would have the potential to negatively impact the
9/03 - (over) Attachment 17a Pagel3 of 36
Page 8 of ITEM u Council Minutes
Society's retention rate, as well as reducing cash flow by several million dollars . Therefore, under the authority of Article XVII, Section 2(f) of the ACS Constitution, Ms . &ss proposed an alternative mailing date of late sprang or early summer.
6. VOTED to authorize that tt=,, -__as,.`,itional amendment provisions of the Petition for Division and Local Section Funding be suomitted to the ACS membership for ratification at a date prior to the next ACS election.
Committee on Committees (ConC)
Carol A. Duane, representing the committee chair, reported that ConC conducted a very successful New Chair Training Conference, as part of the larger Leadership Development Conference held earlier this year in Washington, D. C.
7. VOTED on recommendation of the Committee on Committees, with concurrence of the Council Policy Committee, and m accordance with Bylaw III, Sec. 3, i(1) that the Committee on Technician Affairs be continued.
8. VOTED on recommendation of the Committee on Committees, with concurrence of the Council Policy Committee and subject to the concurrence of the Board of Directors, and in accordance with Bylaw III, Sec. 3, g(1), that the committees on Chemical Abstracts Service, Chemical Safety, Chemistry and Public Affairs, Minority Affairs, and Patent and Related Matters be continued.
Ms. Duane reported that a performance review is continuing for the Committee on Analytical Reagents. She also stated that ConC continues to implement its recommendations on increasing and enhancing member involvement, and improving committee operations and communications. ConC also has begun developing its recommendations for 2004 committee chair appointments for consideration by the President-Elect and Chair of the Board.
Reports of Society Committees
Committee on Budget and Finance
James D. Burke, committee chair, reported that the Society ended 2002 with a net deficit of $789,000, with operations and board appropriations producing a net deficit of $1 .5 million, and the Member Insurance Program a net contribution of $729,000.
The net deficit of $1 .5 million from Society operations and board appropriations is $482,000 favorable to the approved budget. The weak economy has had a significant impact on the Society's advertising revenue and investment income.- As a result, the Society did not realize the budgeted level of net contributions from the Publications Division and the investments program . This shortfall was more than offset by strong performance from Chemical Abstracts Service and the national meetings, combined with meaningful cost reductions in staffing, travel, Society programs, and administrative activities.
The decline m the capital markets and falling interest rates have resulted in investment losses of $29 .4 million and an erosion of the financial position of the Society's pension plan. At year-end, the pension plan was under-funded and required a non-cash charge to unrestricted net assets of $25 .5 million. Taken together, these factors have driven the Society's unrestricted net assets down from $192 million at the end of 2001 to $136 mullion at the end of 2002.
9/03 Attachment 17a Page 14 of 36
Page 9 of ITEM II Council Minutes
Capital expenditures in 2002 totaled $22.2 million, which is almost $700,000 favorable to the approved budget.
9. VOTED, on recommendation of the Committee on Budget and Finance, that the dues for 2004 be set at the fully escalated rate of $120 .
Committee on Education (SOLED)
George F. Palladino, vice chair, announced that plans were finalized to hold an invitational conference titled "Exploring the Molecular Vision" to respond to Immediate Past-President Eli Pearce's challenge to reinvent chemistry education. Over 50 prominent molecular scientists will convene for one-and-a-half days in Washington, DC, m June to generate that vision.
The National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) published a highly abbreviated version of advice provided by SOLED on standards for preparation of pre-college science teachers. To provide a more comprehensive vision of teacher preparation, the committee will publish its guidance on chernistry.org and encourage NSTA to link to this document. Dr. Palladino also reported that SOLED formed a task force to determine how to apply existing ACS resources more effectively to the goal of increasing teacher retention .
The committee voted to support the development of a policy statement that expresses concern over the federal government's increased scrutiny of visa applications by foreign students, scientists and engineers; to recommend to the Board of Directors that it delay any action to revise the previously approved meeting registration fee schedule for students until the committee has been consulted ; and to endorse the Local Section Activities Committee's proposal to better coordinate the ChemLuminary awards.
Dr. Palladino reported that the committee will work with the Committee on Mmonty Affairs to find opportunities to raise awareness on issues related to students' transitions from two-year to four-year colleges. Dr. Palladino noted that the Education and International Activities Division's ChemMatters magazine has earned an award for excellence for the second consecutive year from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration .
Committee on Science (ComSci)
Margaret A. Cavanaugh, committee chair, announced that the Committee on Science (ComSci) debuted a new type of event - the `Lunchbox Forum' - at the meeting. Each forum begins with an expert or two giving short presentations, perhaps positions and counter-positions, for example, to stimulate discussion and then serve as facilitators for member discussion. In New Orleans, the topic was, "Is the Burden Shifting for Long-Term Research Support?" At the New York national meeting, the forum will be on national security vs. scientific openness, especially with regard to immigration and publication policies. Other forums are being considered for 2004 and beyond.
In response to a request from President-Elect Charles Casey, ComSci sought to identify, evaluate, and recommend topics that represent important technical advances in emerging or expanding areas in chemistry, and/or hold important implications for Society constituencies as well as the public . ComSci recommends nanoscience and graduate education as areas of consideration .
ComSci was asked to comment on "Impact of Visa Restrictions on Science," a draft statement from the Office of Legislative and Government Affairs . The committee recommended that the statement be organized to estimate the scope of the problem; detail the "unintended consequences on scientific progress" resulting from the policy; and develop a balanced conclusion

Committee on Membership Affairs (MAC)
R. Gerald Bass, committee chair, reported that MAC voted to oppose the Petition for Division and Local Section Funding (7-8-0) . Dr. Bass stated that the committee still has concerns about the potential negative impact of the proposal on the recruitment and retention of new, less-involved, and at-nsk member groups. Questions also remained on exactly how the assessment funds would be managed and distributed.
Total 2002 year-end membership in the American Chemical Society was 161,144. This represents a slight overall decrease of 1 .4% from the previous year. Due to a challenging economic climate, the Society also experienced a slight decrease in the retention rate. However, the ACS is faring well at a tune when some scientific societies are expenencmg drops of 5-10% in their membership base . The recruitment of new ACS members showed a slight increase over the previous year, and the Society continued to show growth in the underrepresented and BS chemist categories.
Dr. Bass reported that personal member benefits programs, such as the ACS credit card and rental car programs, achieved an 8% increase over the previous year. He also stated that MAC prepared a petition to amend the Bylaws to facilitate the inclusion of pre-college educators who do not otherwise qualify for full membership as regular members of the Society. At this meeting, members of MAC participated in programs focused on encouraging graduating seniors of the Student Affiliate program to join the Society. MAC also is developing recognition programs for Student Affiliate Chapters that recruit college seniors into full membership in the ACS.
For the period October 2002 through February 2003, 255,000 renewal notices were mailed, with 9,300 ACS members choosing to renew online. Chemistry.org saw a significant increase of 6,500 new registered users through this new payment option
MAC continues to solicit input from other committees that represent targeted underrepresented groups, including the Younger Chemists Committee, Women Chemists Committee and the Committee on Minonty Affairs, on what these groups value most about their membership.
Committee on Divisional Activities (DAC)
Ruth Ann Hathaway, committee chair, reported the committee's review of Division and Secretariat 2002 Annual Reports. As of March 26, 2003, 22 of 34 divisions and 1 of 4 secretanats had submitted completed annual reports.

EXPLANATION
The proposed Bylaws changes are in response to the recommendations in the report of the Presidential Task Force on Society Support to Divisions and Local Sections, chaired by Paul Walter, and submitted to Ed Wasserman in October of 2000.
The findings and recommendations of the Task Force were primarily that: both Divisions and Local __ Sections face financial-hardship; Divisions are funded at a lower level than Local Sections per capita and the distribution between funds to Divisions and Local Sections should be adjusted to achieve a more equitable distribution ; increased support for Divisions must not come at the expense of Local Sections; Divisions and Local Sections should collaborate more; and the specific dollar amounts should be removed from the Bylaws to make allocation adjustments easier.
The proposed Bylaws changes respond to the recommendations with a proposed increase in the allocations to both Divisions and Local Sections. The changes also attempt to treat Division and Local Section units similarly, while recognizing their differences. To accomplish this, the total amount of money allocated to Divisions and Local Sections will be set to a percentage (20%) of individual members' dues paid to the SOCIETY. This allows the contributions to these units to change with the total amount of ACS dues collected. It was originally proposed that the split in funds between the two units would depend on the percentage of total memberships of each. In the original- petition, this percentage was to be redetermined each year. However, it was made clear at the Orlando meeting that many Councilors were not in favor of this approach. Consequently, the petition was rewritten to incorporate the percentages for the year 2000, which would apply to the allocation for the year 2004 and beyond. For the year 2000, the percentage is 55 % for Local Sections and 45 % for Divisions .
In the proposed bylaw changes the specific allocation of funds to Divisions and Local Sections are removed from the Bylaws, in Bylaw VII, Sec. 8, a, b, and Bylaw VIII, Sec. 6, a and b. This was done to make allocation adjustments easier. However, this does not mean that the allocation will not be based in large part on a basic allotment for each Division and Local Section and an allotment per member of each group. Under the proposed Bylaws, the Committee on Divisional Activities and the Committee on Local Section Activities will determine the mechanism for distribution of all allocations, which will be approved by Council. We anticipate that, initially, the distribution mechanism would be similar to what is currently written m the Bylaws, with contributions set at a basic allotment plus an additional amount per member. Additional distributions based on other factors of importance to SOCIETY objectives
3/2003 Attachment 17a Page 27 of 36
Page 7 of ITEM VI, A, (3), a Petition for Division and Local Section Funding would constitute a smaller fraction of the allocation. Changes in the procedures would require Council approval, with a Council review every three (3) years. The proposed Bylaws also provide for promotion of Division and Local Section cooperation.
The proposed deletion of Bylaw VIII, Sec. 6, c removes from the Bylaws the allotments that Divisions receive fo: pan:,.- Nation and programming at national meetings. However, specific allocation of national meeting funds could put the SOCIETY in the category of a "major supporter" in terms of the IRS as described below. Thus, although the Committee on Divisional Activities intends to include a component for participation and programming at national meetings in its allocation process, the funds for that component must come from SOCIETY dues and not from national meeting funds .
The new Bylaw XII, Sec. 3, c, was added to address concerns about the public support test imposed by the IRS on not-for-profit organizations . Currently, for some Divisions and Local Sections, funding from the Society may place the SOCIETY in the category of a "major supporter" (as defined by the IRS) of that Division or Local Section. This designation could have adverse ramifications to these SOCIETY units. Increased funding from the SOCIETY could also affect the Divisions and Local Sections. On the other hand, a portion of the SOCIETY membership dues expended on Division and Local Section support would constitute "public support" (as defined by the IRS) if the funds collected on behalf of Divisions and Local Sections, as part of the SOCIETY membership dues, be accounted for and held separately from the remainder of the membership dues .
It is also necessary that the Bylaws indicate that the movies being collected on behalf of the Local Sections and Divisions are absolutely obligated to be used for Division and Local section support, up to the amount of the allocation as stated in the Bylaws with no discretion allowed to the Society not to pay those funds unless a Division and Local Section is not in compliance with its reporting requirements. To receive its share of the allocations, Divisions and Local Sections must have submitted an annual report to the SOCIETY by the specified deadline for the previous year. To maintain the policy's effectiveness, undistributed movies forfeited by lack of this required reporting by a Division and Local Section would go back into the pool and be distributed to eligible units.
An example rough guide to the costs of the proposed changes, if they were in affect for FY 2002, is based on FY 2000 membership figures, and is as follows: For 2002, 20% of the total dues collected would be roughly $2,602,000. This amount would be split between Local Sections (55% = 1,43 1,000) and Divisions (45% = 1,171,000) . For comparison, the 2002 allocation for Local Sections was $1,317,605 and for Divisions was $377,843. The increase in total allocation would be $906,552 which by itself is a very large number. However, when compared with the total assets of the SOCIETY or the annual expense budget of $390,000,000, this is a relatively small fraction Petitioners feel that increased financial support for Divisions and Local Sections is indeed a worthy use of SOCIETY money and feel that the Board of Directors of the SOCIETY can identify the funds to support these units.

FINAL STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL IMPACT
In the analysis of the petition and considering the proviso, the The Budget and Finance Subcommittee on the Financial Impact of Constitution and Bylaw Changes finds that it will have a significant negative impact on the finances of the Society ($100,000 - $500,000) the first year of implementation and, due to the progressive nature of the distributions, the full impact of the petition will not be realized until the year 2007 at which time this petition will have, and maintain perpetually, an extraordinary negative impact on the finances of the Society (>$1,000,000) .
Also, the subcommittee requests that in the fifth paragraph of the explanation section, the phrase, "it is necessary that these funds be . . ." be changed to read, it May be necessary that these funds be. . ." Such that it reads, "For a portion of dues to be expended on Local Section and Division support, and be tax exempt, it may be necessary that these funds be segregated from the total membership dues into a separate bank account."
FINAL REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON CONSTITUTION AND BYLAWS
The Committee on Constitution and Bylaws has examined the petition and finds that it is legal and consistent with other provisions of the Society's documents. Additionally, this Committee has examined how the proposed petition meets the stated intents of the petitioners and has found that it does meet the stated intents of the petitioners . A few manor editorial and clarity problems were found but they are correctable without altering the original intent of the petitioners .
3/2003 Attachment 17a Page '49 of 36
Page 9 of ITEM VI, A, (3), a Petition for Division and Local Section Funding
The intent of the petitioners is to implement the recommendations of the Presidential Task Force on Support to Divisions and Local Sections with regard to funding. In order to accomplish this, the petition includes amendments to both the Articles of the ACS Constitution and to the Bylaws of the Society. The petition provides for increases in total allocations by changing the method for determining individual allotments for Divisions and Local Sections. It removes from the Bylaws, the fixed formulas for funding individual Dsvisij:, a,.:.~ Local Sections and replaces it with fixed percentages . The amendments propose that the Divisional Activities Committee and Local Section Activities Committee, with the approval and periodic review by Council, determine individual allotments for Divisions and Local Sections respectively.
Comments and suggestions from committees, petitioners, and other interested members on the substance of the petition should be directed to the Council Policy Committee, which has primary substantive responsibility for the petition, or the Committee on Constitution and Bylaws .

PROVISO : Related to Implementation of the Petition for Division and Local Section Support
For the year 2003, the total allotments to Local Sections and Divisions shall be determined by the method in effect prior to adoption of the Bylaw changes.
For the year 2004 and thereafter, the total allotments to Local be increased to the amount set by the new annual allotment method. This amount is 11% of the SOCIETY dues revenue for the second preceding year.
For the year 2004, the total allotments to Divisions to shall be equal to the allotments for the year 2003 increased by an amount equal to 25% of the difference between the allotments calculated by the new annual allotment method and the actual 2003 allotments. This amount is approximately 3 .0% of the SOCIETY dues revenue for the second preceding year.
For the year 2005, the total allotments to Divisions shall be equal to the allotments for the year 2003 increased by an amount equal to 50% of the difference between the allotments calculated by the new annual allotment method and the actual 2603 allotments. This amount is approximately 5 .0% of the SOCIETY dues revenue for the second preceding year.
For the year 2006, total allotments to Divisions shall be equal to the allotments for the year 2003 increased by an amount equal to 75% of the difference between the allotments calculated by the new annual allotment method and the actual 2003 allotments. This amount is approximately 7.0% of the SOCIETY dues revenue for the second preceding year.
For the year 2007 and thereafter, the total allotments for Divisions shall be increased to the amount set by the new annual allotment method. This amount is 9% of the SOCIETY dues revenue for the second preceding year.

As part of its briefing, the Board received the following information : a description of ACS' and AIChE's success criteria; a financial assessment of the impact upon ACS of acquiring AIChE (a $9 million impact, including $6 million of liabilities in excess of assets and $3 million in transition expenses) ; an estimate of the net from operations (break-even) and of 2003 adjustments including post-acquisition adjustments and fixed transition costs; an assessment of AIChE's post-acquisition programmatic operations ; the strategic drivers for both parties; the steps that would be required to implement the integration plan should it be approved by both parties ; and a description of how the acquisition would affect AIChE's (and therefore ACS') membership, programs, public presence, Genesis Institutes, role with the Chemical Heritage Foundation, and governance structure. Dr. Schutt then explained how ACS financial guidelines would be affected if ACS decided to move forward with some or all of the various strategic opportunities before it. Extensive discussion ensued over several days of executive session regarding the proposed acquisition (and related integration plan), including the acquisition's impact on ACS members, finances, and existing programs; the AIChE action in providing some of its senior managers with financial protections; and the degree to which and speed with which AIChE would be integrated into ACS.

After no consensus developed around a proposal to authorize a,i acquisition offer to AIChE consistent with the integration plan, Dr. McClelland summarized the key outstanding concerns as follows : the $9 million impact on ACS should be reduced and the costs more clearly justified; a plan for more complete integration of AIChE should be developed; and a stronger partnership with the Chemical Heritage Foundation should be forged to carry out mutual goals . She then proposed a process for addressing these concerns : that a joint ACS-AIChE governance- to-governance task force would be formed, consisting of four members from both ACS and AIChE. The task force would meet as soon as possible and a zpecial meeting of the ACS Board would be called if the task force was successful in developing a proposal. The Board members reached consensus in favor of this task force approach. Dr. Burke explained the motion adopted by the Committee on Budget and Finance, which supported acquisition of AIChE at the best possible terms, with a requirement that both organizations commit to ultimate full integration.
1 . The Board of Directors VOTED to support creation of an ACS-AIChE governance task force to pursue an ACS acquisition of AIChE at the best possible terms for ACS, with a requirement that both organizations commit to ultimate, full integration of AIChE into ACS.
Approval of Minutes
2. The Board of Directors VOTED to approve the minutes of the June 4-6, 2003 Executive Session meeting of the Board of Directors .
Board Computer/Technology Discussion
Robert J. Massie, Director of the Chemical Abstracts Service, and Bruce A. Saunders, Director of Information Technology for Society Programs and Administration, led a discussion with the Board on: (1) the status of their efforts to use the laptops they were provided with in June as part of the Board laptop pilot program; and (2) the degree to which the Board members desired to make use of additional technologies in performing their Board deliberations and related functions. Mr. Massie summarized the objectives of the laptop program, progress to date, and additional technology possibilities for the Board. At the conclusion of the discussion, Mr. Massie described a continuum of technology sophistication among Board members, noted the existence of differing perceptions of technology needs among the members, and pledged that, rather than leaving any Board member behind in the use of technology he would pursue a strategy of customization and interact with each of the Board members individually. He proposed that the Board members be provided with a list of technology options, which they could prioritize. Regardless of the prioritization, each Board member would be assured some basic function (email, connectivity, etc.) .

13 . After defeating an amendment that would reduce the t,_:.cutive Director's bonus payout range by one level, the Board of Directors VOTED, on recommendation of the Committee on Compensation and the Board Task Force on Compensation, to approve the 2004 Executive Bonus Plan (as presented by the Committee Chair). Community of Science
To assist the Board with its ongoing consid :4 -'~-,r_~ . ?. Holland Jordan updated the Board on a proposal whereby ACS would acquire the community of Science (COS) for an amount up to $7 million. In response to questions, Dr. Jordan said that a business plan had been developed that addressed the issues of why ACS should buy COS and how it would produce a net contribution from it's operations. The Board discussion focused on issues relating to COS' prior performance in abstracts management, its overall lack of profitability, protection of ACS' intellectual property, how COS ranked compared with other strategic opportunities for ACS. Dr. Burke reported that the Budget and Finance Committee had adopted a motion recommending to the Board that any action on COS be delayed until the committee has the necessary information to make an informed recommendation.
14. The Board of Directors VOTED to withdraw from and cease any further effort toward acquiring the Community of Science (Dr. Nalley requested that her abstention be recorded).
