'''Key Duties and Responsibilities'''
 
'''Level of Authority'''
* Much of this committee's work is very public-facing, and may be the first interaction people have with EBC. Any major, public-facing changes, therefore (such as a website redesign) should be passed before the board for review, though decisions can be made by the committee without a board vote once a reasonable amount of time has been given for review (unless the board indicates otherwise during this review period).
* Decisions involving a significant new financial cost or liability to EBC must first be recommended to the board for approval.
* Decisions involving significant privacy or security concerns must also first be recommended to the board for approval.
 
'''Reporting Relationship'''
*The chair of the committee shall submit written reports to the board prior to each board meeting.
 
'''Composition and Appointments'''
* The chair will be selected by the board of directors based on open nominations. The chair may appoint anyone to the committee. The president and executive director are ex officio members.
 
'''Meetings'''
* At least once every 2 months.
