. The bylaws for the Mari-Med Corporation and the Medical-Marijuana, Access-Assistance Foundation are being designed to insure that the foundation and corporate assets are directed to the highest and best use of all concerned. To our knowledge, the blending of the profit making entity, Mari-Med Corporation and the non-profit entity, MM AA Foundation is the first of its kind. Therefore two things are required of us: As a role model, our first job is to design the best possible blend of a profit making corporation with a non-profit foundation. Our second job is to be flexible enough to adapt and adjust to conditions and circumstances that we cannot foresee at this time. To that end, we are setting up the MM AA Foundation and the Mari-Med Corporation to cover as many contingencies as possible. The sections on this page describe some of the basic attributes. . |

Merging The Letter of the Law with Its Intent |
|
. . Letter and Intent: All rules, policies, bylaws, and the like that give guidance and direction to the foundation and to the corporation shall have two equally important parts -- the letter of those rules and the stated intentions within them. Whenever a rule, policy, or bylaw is written, its intention shall also be written with it. This includes anything and everything about the foundation and the corporation that could be interpreted in more than one way. A violation of the rule's (or the bylaw's) stated intention shall be equal to a violation of the letter of the rule. If and when a conflict arises between the letter of the law (rule, etc.) and its stated intention, the intention (the spirit of the law) shall prevail. In any questionable practice, the Arbitrators shall resolve the disputes at their discretion. The Arbitrators' decisions are appealable to a combined decision of the other three branches of the trust, (Rule-Makes, Managers, and Reality-Checkers ) The three-branch decisions are final and un-appealable. All rules, policies, and bylaws must be written in plain, easy-to-understand language. Any attempt to hide a rule under complicated sentence structure or by unwritten implication is prohibited. Any time a rule, policies, bylaw, et cetera is found to be confusing or that it is being misinterpreted by the beneficiaries, the wording must be altered, and both its meaning and its intention must be rewritten and made clear. Exceptions to the Rules Rule Makers are expressly prohibited from exempting themselves or anyone else from being at the affect of a rule, policy or the like. Exception may be made only if approved be the other three branches and if approve by the beneficiaries at the next, annual stockholder's meeting. Relevant Amendments: Any time a rule, policy, guideline, (etc.) is being voted on, all amendments to the original rule, policy, guideline, et cetera must be relevant to the main issue. For example, if a proposed bylaw regarding paying for employee health care was the main issue, an amendment to build an addition to parking garage would be out of place, not accepted as an amendment, and not legally binding. Whenever an amendment's relevancy is in question, the Arbitrators will determine its relevancy or non-relevancy. The Arbitrators' decisions are appealable to a combined decision of the other three branches of the trust, (Rule-Makes, Managers, and Reality-Checkers ) The three-branch decisions are final and un-appealable.
Here's an example of the type of unethical practices that the foundation intends to avoid and prohibit: The auto insurance industry in California is legally prohibited from discriminating against a driver and charging insurance premiums based upon where the driver lives. The industry honors the letter of the law but grossly and blatantly violates its intent. The industry discriminates by charging premiums based upon the address where the car is garaged/parked. . |
|
. All rules, law, proposal, et cetera are to be evaluated by The Arbitrators regarding the balanced between benefits to special interests and benefits the general well-being of all concerned. When The Arbitrators determine that the ratio between the benefits to special interests and the benefits to the general interest, are, in their opinion, too strongly in favor of special interests, they shall declare the rule / law / policy to be dysfunctional and its power and effect shall become null and void. The Arbitrators' decisions are appealable to a combined decision of the other three branches of the trust, (Rule-Makes, Managers, and Reality-Checkers ) The three-branch decisions are final and un-appealable.. |

Preventing Excessive Personal Wealth |
|
. Any person, no matter how competent or skilled they are who transfers more than twenty million dollars of his company's profits into his/her private holdings is guilty of price gouging his customers and taking unfair advantage of his/her employees. Presently, we hear the fairytale that corporation must pay executives outrageous bonuses, or they will not be able to attract competent leadership. The evidence from thousands of well-run corporations shows that story to belong in the sewer. At the Mari-Med Corporation and the MM AA Foundation, our corporate and our foundation bylaws will have articles in them limiting cumulative, long-term executive and/or stockholder compensations. . |
|
. If you want a recipe for disaster, here it is: Secrecy --- Big Money -- Concentration of Power This is unbeatable recipe for greed, graft, money laundering, political corruption, fascism, tyranny, and for every other type of crime and unethical activity you can possibly imagine. At the present stage of human evolution, most humans are simply not capable of staying clean in an environment with all that temptation. This trilogy of corruption-creating tools is a core problem which must be addressed if society is to survive the present round of financial, environmental and political crises. If you examine every major problem on the entire planet, you'll find it involves secret activity, huge amounts of money, and a small group of people with unbridled power in whatever activity they were engaged in. When using The New Corporate World Foundation's Win-Win Business Structure, this combination will never be allowed to show up because secrecy is denied by the corporate bylaws. Corporate Secrecy: Most corporations are run in secret. The activities of the managing executives are not available to the public. They have no overseers, no checks an balances. If you ask them about the secrecy, they say it's nobody else's business. They say that they don't want their competitors to know what they're doing. This may be true for corporations producing highly-competitive products such as cell phones, computers, pharmaceuticals, military technology, and the like. But what about the hundreds of thousands of corporations that produce products in which the only differences among the competitors are variations on a theme, such as the public service portions of the banking, the finance, and the insurance industries. Do they have and legitimate need for secrecy. The answer is NO! They are taking money from the people and are supposed to be serving the public. In industries where differences are variations on a theme, the only reasons for secrecy are: 1) if they are engaging is criminal activity such as laundering drug money, 2) ripping off their customers by charging excessive prices, 3) producing shoddy or unsafe products, or 4) destroying the environment. Financial crimes such as the Enron financial scandal, the Bernie Madoff ponzi scam, and the huge multi-corporation, financial rip-off that triggered the 2008 financial crisis could never happen under The New Corporate World Foundation's Win-Win Business Structure. Non-profit Organizations: The same, basic principle applies to non-profit organizations. Often there are questions about where the contributor's money is actually going that are not clearly answered by the public agencies which are supposed to keep the crooks from lining their pockets with donor dollars. In the corporation/foundation partnering system, these issues are clearly addressed in the corporate bylaws. Secrecy, large amounts of money, and concentrations of power will never be allowed in the same place at the same time. . |
|
. As an aid to healthy and flexible, trust management, a clear distinction shall be made between a rule and a policy. A rule is a directive -- without the latitude of individual discretion. ("This is the way such-and-such shall be handled.") A policy is a guideline giving latitude and leeway for the administers to adapt and adjust the suggested behavior and respond appropriately to fit each particular situation. . |
|
. Any and all funds acquired by the foundation for investment are for that use only. Anyone and everyone is expressly prohibited from in any way encumbering the funds, or interfering with their expressed, designated use. Anyone and everyone is prohibited from using the funds as collateral for anything else or in using the funds in any other way whatsoever. No loans may be drawn against the funds. They are for the specific, designated use only. No Exceptions. . |
|
. Bylaw Changes: The bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed and new bylaws adopted by a majority vote of the Board of Directors and four branches (Rule-Makes // Arbitrators // Reality-Checkers // Managers) (total = 5 votes) at a regular or a special meeting provided a written notice be sent to all who are eligible to vote regarding the proposed change. Notices shall be sent so that the notice arrives to the recipient fourteen day prior to the day of the vote. The written notice shall include the intended changes and the intent behind the intended changes. . |
|
. In addition to the bylaws mentioned for foundations partnering with profit oriented corporations, two important additions are essential for the foundations operating independently as part of the new Public Service Banking System. *** 1) In order to create a better-informed populous, public service radio and television shall be included as one of every foundation's named beneficiaries and shall receive a minimum of three percent of moneys that each foundation distributes to its beneficiaries. The stipulation is added that PBS permanently add the money to its endowment fund and not simply spend the money purchasing products or services. The profits from the endowment are used to purchase products and services. 2) In order to prevent politicians from being owned by campaign contributors, a minimum of three percent of moneys that the foundation distributes to its beneficiaries shall go to a fund for financing political campaigns. The stipulation is added that the money be permanently added to an Election Campaign Endowment Fund and not simply spend the money purchasing products or services. The profits from the endowment are used for campaign financing. The stipulation is added that any ads funded by foundation money, must include views form both sides of any proposals (or candidates) that voters are being asked to accept or reject.

We're Walking Our Talk |
|
At TLC-Life-Center
We
are demonstrating our proposals by creating two |
|
The for-profit business (Mari-Med Corporation) will be based on The New Corporate World Foundation's Win-Win Business Structure -- a structure in which corporate employees, corporate customers, and the environment hold equal priority with making a profit. Corporate focus is the production and application of Hemp.
Hemp is
an ignored gold mine
because when it is allowed to
freely flourish, it will become a multi-billion dollar
industry. For example, hemp it will replace
trees as a source of fiber for paper, it's medical benefits
are profound, and as plastic for auto bodies, its strength
and damage resistance will save billions of dollars in auto
repairs.
We
are creating a medical-marijuana,
access-assistance foundation, The
Mari-Med Foundation will provide funding and access to
medical marijuana for those in need who cannot, by themselves,
afford to pay for the products and services. The Foundation
will own
controlling interest in the Mari-Med Corporation so
that the majority of the corporate profits will go to the Foundation. Do You need a Job? You are invited to examine our websites and determine if you'd like to join the development teams for either our non-profit foundation or our profit-oriented corporation.
