Board of Directors
Major decisions for the allocation of iPC resources to specific Grand Challenges will be made by a community-representative Board of Directors (BoD), not by iPC personnel. A “bootstrapping” process, in which a community-representative Nominating Committee (assembled by the PIs with NSF oversight), has been used to select the Board of Directors. One third of the Board will be 'refreshed' every year (beginning summer, 2009) and replaced by the Nominating Committee.
