1. Approval of Agenda

2. Approval of Minutes from Apr 5/16 Board meeting

3. Finance Report - Bacca

   a) need a motion to approve the FY15 financial statements to be presented
      at the Institutional Members meeting on May 6.
   b) need a motion to recommend to the Instutional Members to waive the
      private account audit for fiscal year 2016.

      Proposed explanatory text for the Institutional Members:

      The Not-For-Profit Corporations Act requires members of a corporation to
      appoint a public accountant at the annual meeting, and that members of a
      soliciting corporation with gross annual revenues less than $50,000 can,
      by unanimous vote, decide not to appoint a public accountant.  This would
      apply only to the CINP's private funds, as the NSERC funds are already
      audited by the administering institution.

      At its May 3, 2016 meeting, the CINP Board voted to recommend to the
      Institutional Members that the audit be waived this year.  The Board's
      intention is to have an audit approximately every five years, as a way 
      to optimize the use of the CINP's Internal Funds while minimizing 
      risk.  Paul Garrett is finalizing the audit for the years up to and 
      including FY14.  A motion was passed last year for FY15.  The new motion 
      would apply to FY16.
