Setting the Stage

.

The bylaws for  The Green-Earth-Computer Foundation are being designed to insure that the foundation's assets are used for the highest and best use of all concerned.  

To our knowledge,  the blending of the profit making entity,   The Green-Earth-Computes   and the non-profit entity, The Green-Earth-Computer Foundation  is the first of its kind.  It is without a doubt the first of its kind to enter the computer sales and service industry.   

Therefore two things are required of us:  As a role model, our first job is to design the best possible blend of a profit making corporation with a non-profit foundation.   Our second job is to be flexible enough to adapt and adjust to conditions and circumstances that we cannot foresee at this time.   To that end, we are setting up the  The Green-Earth-Computer Foundation  to cover as many contingencies  as possible.    The sections on this page describe some of the basic attributes of the foundation.

Merging    The Letter of the Law    with     Its Intent

.

Letter and Intent:   

All rules, policies, and bylaws of the foundation and the corporation shall have two equally powerful parts  --  the letter of those rules and the stated intentions within them.   Whenever a rule, policy, or bylaw  its intention shall also be written with it.   This includes anything and everything about the foundation and the corporation that could be interpreted in more than one way.   A violation of the rule's stated intention shall be equal to a violation of the letter of the rule.   

In any questionable practice, the Arbitrators shall resolve the disputes at their discretion.   The Arbitrators' decisions are appealable to a combined decision of  the other  three branches of the trust, (Rule-MakesManagers, and  Reality-Checkers )  The three-branch decisions are final and unappealable.   

All rules, policies, and bylaws must be written in plain, easy-to-understand language.   Any attempt to hide a rule under complicated sentence structure or by unwritten implication is prohibited.   Any time a rule is found to be confusing or that it is being misinterpreted by the beneficiaries, the wording must be altered, and both its meaning and its  intention must be made clear.   

Relevant Amendments:   

Any time a rule, policy or guideline is being voted on, all amendments to the original rule, policy or guideline must be relevant to the main issue.   For example, if a proposed bylaw regarding paying for employee health care was the main issue, an amendment to build an addition to parking garage would be out of place, not accepted as an amendment, and not legally binding.   Whenever an amendment's relevancy is in question, the Arbitrators will determine its relevancy or non-relevancy.     The Arbitrators' decisions are appealable to a combined decision of  the other  three branches of the trust, (Rule-MakesManagers, and  Reality-Checkers )  The three-branch decisions are final and unappealable.   

Here's  an example of the type of unethical practices that the foundation  intends to avoid and  prohibit:   The auto insurance industry in California is legally prohibited from discriminating against a driver and charging insurance premiums based upon where the driver lives.   The industry honors the letter of the law but grossly and blatantly violates its intent.  The industry discriminates by charging premiums based upon the address where the car is garaged/parked.  

Amendments must be related

.

.

.

Special Interests -- Conflicts of  Interest

.

All rules, law,  proposal, et cetera are to be evaluated by The Arbitrators regarding the balanced between benefits to special interests and benefits the general well-being of all concerned.   When the The Arbitrators determine that the benefits to special interests outweigh the benefits to the general interest, the rule / law / policy is  declared to be dysfunctional and its power and effect becomes null and void.   The Arbitrators' decisions are appealable to a combined decision of  the other  three branches of the trust, (Rule-MakesManagers, and  Reality-Checkers )  The three-branch decisions are final and unappealable.

Preventing Excessive Personal Wealth

.

 Any person, no matter how competent or skilled they are who transfers more than fifty million dollars of his company's profits into his/her private holdings  is guilty of price gouging his customers and taking unfair advantage of his/her employees.   

Presently, we hear the fairytale that corporation must pay executives outrageous bonuses, or they will not be able to attract competent leadership.   The evidence from thousands of well-run corporations shows that story to belong in the sewer.  

At Green-Earth-Computers.com, both our corporate and our foundation bylaws will have articles in them limiting cumulative, long-term executive and/or stockholder compensations.   

.

.

.

Rules and Policies   

.

As an aid to healthy and flexible, trust management, a clear distinction needs to be made between a rule  and a policy.   A rule is a directive -- ("This is the way such-and-such shall be handled.")   A policy is a guideline giving latitude and leeway for the administers to adapt and adjust the suggested behavior and respond appropriately to fit each particular situation.

Notes and References

  .

In addition to the bylaws mentioned for foundations partnering with profit oriented corporations, two important additions are essential for the foundations operating independently as part of the new Public Service Banking System.  ***   

1)  In order to create a better-informed populous, public service radio and television shall be included as one of every foundation's named beneficiaries and shall receive a minimum of three percent of moneys that each foundation distributes to its beneficiaries.   

The stipulation is added that PBS permanently add the money to its endowment fund and not simply spend the money purchasing products or services.  The profits from the endowment are used to purchase products and services.

2)  In order to prevent politicians from being owned by campaign contributors,  a minimum of three percent of moneys that the foundation distributes to its beneficiaries shall go to a fund for financing  political campaigns.   

The stipulation is added that the money be  permanently add to an Election Campaign Endowment Fund  and not simply spend the money purchasing products or services.   The profits from the endowment are used for campaign financing.

The stipulation is added that any ads funded by foundation money, must include views form both sides of any proposals (or candidates) that voters are being asked to accept or reject.
