1. Purpose
The Executive Committee (ExCo) provides management guidance and oversight of the organization between Board meetings, and carries out actions as delegated by the Board or allowed in Board policies including financial review, committee reports, and review of new and ongoing initiatives.
2. Reporting
ExCo reports to the Board of Directors. The Board Secretary takes minutes and the Board Chair shares and reviews these minutes with the Board at each meeting of the Directors.
3. Roles and Responsibilities of the Committee
ExCo is a standing committee of the Board, and has and may exercise all of the powers and authority of the Board granted in an authorizing Board resolution or a charter adopted by the Board and to the extent allowed by the Bylaws and applicable Delaware law. Among its Board-delegated responsibilities is the review of interim financials, working with the Executive Director to develop Board meeting agendas and review materials; recommending Level 6 External Policies as outlined within the Governance Strata, and vetting proposals to be presented to the Board for action at a Board meeting. ExCo is required to notify the Board of any actions it takes or decisions made. ExCo cannot fill vacancies in the Board; amend or repeal the bylaws; or amend or repeal any resolution of the Board of Directors which by its terms may not be amended or repealed.
4. Committee Constitution
ExCo consists of three or more Directors recommended by the Board Chair and approved by the majority of the entire Board, in addition to the Board Chair, any Vice Chair(s) and the Treasurer as ex officio members with voting rights, and the Executive Director as an ex officio member without voting rights. The Board shall have full discretion in determining the number of members of ExCo. The Board Chair is the Chair of ExCo.
5. Meetings and Quorum
ExCo meets on a monthly basis, unless otherwise agreed by its members. ExCo is supported by the ORCID Executive Director and Secretary, who schedule meetings, develop meeting agendas with the Chair, and maintain meeting minutes. Meetings may be conducted in person, by phone, or video conference. A majority of all of the members of ExCo shall constitute a quorum at any meeting thereof, and action requires the vote of the majority of the committee. Alternatively, ExCo may take action by unanimous written consent.
