| Title: | Purging of W-9 Information |
Purpose & Relevance: aka Problem & Solution: | DMS had an issue in the past regarding the submission of W-9 information to its outside accountants. The rumors and hearsay have continued. The current process was discussed with the CFO and he is going to write up a one-pager on the current process to act as a one-page “explainer.” As part of that discussion, the CFO indicated there were some old W-9s around that had not been purged pending the in-process document retention policy development. |
| Motion Text: | Motion to immediately purge all W-9s in possession of DMS. The Board instructs the CFO to purge all W-9s in possession of DMS with immediate effect |
