5(1) Observation of the job performance of GM will be assessed based on expected job outputs, including, accomplishing the Policies and Priorities.

(2) The time the Broad spends on assessment of the GM shall be intentionally minimized to allow the Board to be forward facing.

(3) The success of the GM executing a specific policy will be presented in one or more of three ways:

• the GM providing an internal report to the Board.
• an external report by a Board-selected external auditor, inspector, or judge, which only assesses policies of the Board, not of the external party, unless stated otherwise.
• After proper notification has been given to the GM, the Board may inspect documents, activities or circumstances that determines compliance.

(4) The GM will not be deemed non-compliant with a policy simply due to a difference of interpretation between the GM and the Board regarding the policy. The Board will consider any logical and justifiable interpretation of policy by the GM as compliant.

(5) Conflicts of interpretation of policy between the GM and the Board shall be resolved first by good faith discussions and, if need be, by amendment to the policy in question clarifying the intention of the Board for the policy.

(6) Any policy can be observed or monitored by the Board by any of the above methods at any time.

(7) The Board shall determine the frequency and method to consistently monitor Board Policies and Priorities and each Executive Limitations policy.

(8) The Board will formally evaluate the GM,

• during the first meeting of the fiscal year;
• based on the achievement of the Board’s Policies and Priorities while adhering to the Executive Limitations policies;
• by assessing the regular monitoring data provided during the year, the Board’s recorded acceptance of the reports described in S. 16(3) and identifying performance trends evidenced by that data.
