Funding sources
- Funding sources and large donors - check with Sara C and Cathy - full 990s contain donors over certain level, but we should ask them or have a process setup to get their permission to post this if we are to include the full 990 (DC doesn't retain that section on the ibiblio website)
- some configuration of https://creativecommons.net/supporters/
- some configuration of “how your donation is used” graphic from https://creativecommons.net/donate/
- dashboard - https://creativecommons.net/figures/
other stuff
- Conflict of interest, Codes of Conduct, other policy documents (DC says probably not)
- seems relevant though - http://ibiblio.org/cccr/docs/conduct.pdf
- Non-audited balance and profit/loss (DC says we don't have this because we're audited every year)
- Annual budgets (DC says probably no as might contain salaries and Board would have to approve the posting of these); this would be taken care of by the annual report anyway, minus staff salaries
- Board minutes - DC says probably not
