Frequently Asked QuestionsWe have had a groundswell of interest for the "Tackling Your 2008 Compensation Disclosures: The 2nd Annual Proxy Disclosure Conference." Below are some frequently asked questions:
Problems with the Online CLE
Tracking Tool
If you have registered for video webcast attendance to any of our three
Conferences this week, please be aware that we are experiencing some
difficulties with our new online tracking tool. Rest assured that you can
still earn CLE credit if your state bar has accredited our program
(most states have).
If you are experiencing problems, simply send us (1) the name(s) of any lawyers who watch the Conference, (2) list which Conferences were watched, (3) the state bars for which CLE is sought, and (4) the bar numbers for those states. We will be sending out CLE certifications in about a month or so. We apologize for any inconvenience.
No. You can only receive the member discount if you are a member. However, you might be at a company/firm that has an Unlimited or Firmwide license that enables you to get the special rate. In other words, if you work in an office that is covered by either an Unlimited or Firmwide license to CompensationStandards.com – you are eligible for the member discount. However, if someone in your office has a single membership and you don't – you need to become a member yourself to receive the member discount. If you are uncertain as to whether you are a member
of TheCorporateCounsel.net or CompensationStandards.com, send us an email at
info@thecorporatecounsel.net and we can let you know. The Conference will be held on October 9th, in San Francisco and by Live Video Webcast (and archived if you have a conflict on the 9th). Here is the
full agenda, including a list of speakers. Those that listen to our webcasts
know the caliber of our content and that we carefully select our speakers so
that practical guidance is the order of the day. This Conference will be
practical and will be critical for every person involved with drafting proxy
disclosures to attend. With the stakes so high now for those involved with
drafting proxy disclosures, many companies and law firms are taking advantage of
the Firmwide Membership Center-so that all your outside directors and staff can
access the many resources on TheCorporateCounsel.net and
CompensationStandards.com. (Even if you have an existing membership to
TheCorporateCounsel.net or CompensationStandards.com, you can upgrade to a
Firmwide license and enable all your outside directors and staff to access this
crucial program; you will receive a credit for any money you have already
paid). Here's what you'll need to watch the video (or listen to audio only): If you register for the Conference, you will have
access to the video/audio archives of the Conference until September 30, 2008.
We will be archiving every single minute of the
Conference – so you can go back and watch/listen to the Conference at any time
until September 30, 2008. It depends on whether you attend in San Francisco or via the nationwide webcast. Lawyers can earn CLE for most states if they attend live and even earn credit in certain states if they attend live by video webcast. Here is a list of the states in which this program is accredited. Unfortunately, no CPE credits are available for
attending the Conference. However, directors can earn continuing education
credit as this program is accredited by ISS. To obtain credit, you will just
need to let ISS know which directors attended the Conference. Sure. But note that it costs less to pay for both the Conference and a membership to one of the sites than to pay the non-member conference rates. We believe that nearly all members of TheCorporateCounsel.net and CompensationStandards.com will decide to attend the Conference. You should note that this Conference is priced so
that it's cheaper than any other comparable conference rate we can find because
we value your membership! No. You only have to be a member of just TheCorporateCounsel.net or CompensationStandards.com to take advantage of the member rate of $1095 to attend live in San Fran. In addition, you only have to be a member of either TheCorporateCounsel.net or CompensationStandards.com to get the member rate if you plan to attend by video webcast only. You don't have to be a member of both.
Yes, the NASPP has made a special arrangement so
that NASPP members can obtain a single license to this Conference using the
member rates available to TheCorporateCounsel.net or CompensationStandards.com
members. For example, NASPP members can attend live in San Francisco for the
member rate of $1295. This full-day Conference focuses solely on how to implement the SEC's new executive compensation disclosure rules and is a must for anyone involved with drafting or reviewing proxy disclosures. In comparison, the "4th Annual Executive Compensation Conference" is an intensive one-day conference (although it has extra content making it well over 10 hours in length) that focuses on how to implement responsible executive compensation practices. Although there is some guidance that will be imparted during the "4th Annual Executive Compensation Conference" on how to draft and review proxy compensation disclosures, there also will be guidance provided on a wider variety of practices, such as how to implement tally sheets and what compensation committees should be doing now. The "4th
Annual Executive Compensation Conference" is a must for directors
and anyone involved with advising boards as to their compensation practices. To make it easy, your organization would use the
same ID/password you currently use for those sites so in a sense, your
company/firm would “piggyback” on what ID/password you already have. This
alleviates administrative headaches involved with juggling multiple IDs and
passwords. No. However, a video archive of each panel will be
available - something is not available for most other conferences. Yes, you can post your questions on the Q&A Forums of TheCorporateCounsel.net or CompensationStandards.com at any time. In the alternative, you can e-mail them to info@ccrcorp.com. However, due to limited available time, the
panelists will not be able to answer questions during the Conference. But they
will be helping to answer questions posted in the Q&A Forums. Yes, when you attend in San Francisco, you still
will have access to the archives of the video webcast until September 30, 2008 at
no extra cost - this will help you when you are drafting and reviewing your
proxy disclosures. Just contact our Headquarters at 925.685.5111 or info@thecorporatecounsel.net and our Staff will apply the money you paid for a single license to the video webcast to the registration rate applicable for San Francisco attendance. Even when you attend in San Francisco, you still will have access to the archives of the video webcast until September 30, 2008, to help you when you are drafting and reviewing your proxy disclosures. Note that if your company/firm paid for a firmwide
or unlimited license to the video webcast, you are unable to apply the money
paid for those licenses for attendance in San Francisco. Only money paid for a
single license in your name can be used to upgrade to a San Francisco
registration. No. Only money paid for a single license in your
name can be used to upgrade to a San Francisco registration. The rationale is
that others in your company/firm will still benefit from being able to attend
via video webcast, which was priced at very reasonable rates - so a new
registration for attending in San Francisco will need to be made in your name. Full refunds are available if you notify us before August 1st. A 50% refund
is available if you notify us before September 1st. After September 1st, there
will be no refunds permitted. Register Now!
