Shareholder's General Meeting has the right to nominate individual shareholders to the Board of Directors, but all external members are appointed and dismissed by the Board of Governors. Board of Governors decides the agenda for the Shareholder's Annual Meeting. Board of Governors has the right to convene an extra Shareholder's General meeting at their discretion. Board of Governors decides the remuneration of all members of the Board of Directors. While the Board of Governors is chaired by one of the founders, other members are scientists representing Peers and have no personal financial interest in the company. And finally, the Board of Governors itself is accountable to the Peers, who can dismiss Governors at any time by majority vote. As Peerage of Science grows, the Board of Governors will grow also to reflect diversity among the Peers.
