When you had these concerns about jeopardizing the 501(c)3 status of a
corporation to which you have fiduciary responsibility, did you seek
legal advice before proceeding anyway? If so, did you share this advice
with any other members of the committee?

Since the answer to that question is not one of the rating criteria,
was the penalty for my case applied to the "contribution" score or
the "amount" score? Was the same penalty applied to the sixth person
you mention above?
How did you apply a similar penalty to the other 5 of that group of
6 if they either did not answer one half of that question or did not
answer it at all?
