Fabular Frames and the Four Ratio ProblemMajid Iqbal
Digital, interactive art showing the struggle of a society in providing for its present population while also saving planetary resources for future generations. Spread across several frames, the art is actually the rendering of real and speculative data. The stereographic projections change shape in response to prompts and provocations. Visitors interact with the model through speculative statements about how to increase savings across communities, regions, ecosystems and environments. Their fabulations combined with random noise, i.e. factors beyond control, have a dramatic effect on the societal transition. Things get better. Things get worse. The aim is to give visitors a new grasp and feel of the ongoing struggles in democracies around the world.
Stunning art in the small multiples format brings out the spatiotemporal nature of societal transitions, against backdrop issues such as energy, housing, waste, farmland and forest. In each frame we see hopeful and frightful interplays between spending and saving. Problems emerge when one of the two parts of the existential anaglyph rapidly shrinks like Arctic ice, as factors cross thresholds. Ecological wealth and intergenerational equity areFour at stake. Not enough spending could mean economic stress, social unrest and political conflict. Not enough saving and there will be climate breakdown and ‘bankruptcy’. So where does speculative design start and the gambling and betting end? Behind each fabular frame is a four ratio problem. Each ratio reflects the level of sacrifice and self-restraint a society is willing to accept, against promises of prosperity and freedom. Some values seem to stabilise a frame while others cause collapse. Get the ratios right and we can have it all. Get them wrong and things get more desperate.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

1. CSX CORPORATION
Board of Directors
Corporate Governance Guidelines
The following guidelines have been adopted by the Board of Directors and, together with
the charters of the standing Board committees, provide the framework for the governance of CSX
Corporation (the “Corporation”). The Board regularly reviews its corporate governance
practices, including these guidelines, to ensure that they continue to reflect the high standards that
those who deal with the Corporation as employees, investors, clients, customers, vendors or in
other capacities can and should expect.
Board Responsibilities
1. The business and affairs of the Corporation are subject to the overall oversight and
authority of the Board of Directors. The Board has assigned primary responsibility for
several important functions to the following standing committees: Audit (financial
reporting and internal controls); Compensation (CEO review and evaluation and
executive compensation); Finance (capital structure and financial policies); Governance
(corporate governance, strategic planning and succession planning); and Operations and
Public Affairs (operations and public policy issues). Each of these committees consists
solely of non-management directors, with the Audit, Compensation and Governance
Committees consisting solely of independent directors. Each committee operates under
a written charter approved by the full Board, and committee chairs and memberships are
rotated on a regular basis.
2. The Board holds at least five regularly scheduled meetings each year, with additional
meetings scheduled when necessary. Each Board committee meets three or more times
each year, usually during the afternoon of the day preceding regular Board meetings.
Additional committee meetings are held as needed, either in person or by telephone
conference. To the extent possible, each director is expected to attend in person all
meetings of the Board of Directors and the committees on which the director sits, and to
participate telephonically when they are unable to attend in person. The Corporation
will make every effort to send materials for Board and committee meetings in advance
of such meetings, and directors are expected to review the materials prior to meetings.
Directors are also expected to participate in other applicable activities designed to
increase their knowledge of the Corporation and their ability to perform their duties.
Directors are encouraged to attend the Corporation’s annual meeting of shareholders.
Independence of Board from Management
3. A substantial majority of the Board of Directors shall be independent, as that term is
defined in applicable laws and stock exchange listing standards. An individual is
considered independent only if the Board has affirmatively determined that the
individual has no material relationship with the Corporation, either directly or as a
partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the
Corporation. The basis for the Board's determination will be disclosed in the
Corporation’s annual proxy statement. Corporation management annually verifies the
nature and amount of any known relationships to the Governance Committee.
Rev. Feb. 10, 2009 1
2. 4. Members of management will be considered for Board membership only if they are
serving as the current chief executive officer or are considered by the Governance
Committee to be a likely successor to the chief executive officer. Members of
management are not eligible to serve on any standing Board committees.
5. The non-management directors meet alone in executive session at each in person Board
meeting. These executive sessions are chaired by a presiding director selected annually
by the Governance Committee from among independent directors. A presiding director
shall not serve more than two consecutive annual terms, and it shall be the expectation
that a presiding director generally will serve two consecutive annual terms. The duties of
the presiding director include: (a) presiding at all meetings of the board at which the
Chairman is not present; (b) serving as liaison between the Chairman and the
independent directors; (c) approving information, meeting agendas and meeting
schedules sent to the Board; (d) calling meetings of independent directors when
appropriate; (e) pre-clearing all transactions in CSX securities by a Director, the
President and Chief Executive Officer, and the Senior Vice President-Law & Public
Affairs and Corporate Secretary; and (f) being available for direct communication with
major shareholders as appropriate. In addition, the independent directors (if different
from the non-management directors) meet alone in executive session at least once a year.
This session is also chaired by the presiding director.
6. The full Board will generally meet alone in executive session at each in-person Board
meeting. These executive sessions will be led by the Chairman of the Board, who is also
the Chief Executive Officer. The other duties of the Chairman of the Board, in his or her
capacity as Chairman and separate from his or her position as Chief Executive Officer,
are: (a) calling special meetings of the Board; (b) presiding at meetings of the Board; (c)
serving as chairman of the Executive Committee; (d) presiding over meetings of the
shareholders; (e) calling special meetings of the shareholders and (f) accepting
resignations of Directors.
Director Qualifications and Selection
7. The Board believes that combining the positions of Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer, which follows the practice of the majority of U.S. public companies, provides
clarity of leadership and is best for CSX and its shareholders. The Board believes that
the use of a presiding director with carefully delineated duties provides independent
oversight of management substantively no different from that that would be provided by
separating the offices of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Independent oversight
has been further assured by having only one member of management on the Board. The
Board recognizes that circumstances do change and will review this structure on an
annual basis.
8. As a group, the Board is expected to represent a broad diversity of experience in
business matters and to be able to assess and evaluate the role and policies of the
Corporation in the face of changing conditions in the economy, regulatory environment
and customer expectations. Nominees for Board membership are expected to be
prominent individuals with demonstrated leadership ability and to possess outstanding
integrity, values and judgment. Directors and nominees must be willing to devote the
substantial time required to carry out the duties and responsibilities of directors.
Rev. Feb. 10, 2009 2
3. 9. The Governance Committee welcomes suggestions from shareholders for potential
Board nominees, and when appropriate, Committee members will meet with interested
shareholders to discuss proposed candidates. The Committee can be contacted through
the Corporate Secretary, as described in the annual proxy statement. Potential nominees
suggested by shareholders will be evaluated by the Committee on the same basis as
individuals identified directly by the Committee or from other sources. Each Board
member is expected to represent the broad interests of the Corporation and its
shareholders as a group, and not any particular constituency.
10. Directors of the Corporation are elected annually by the shareholders for one-year terms,
but may be appointed by the Board or elected for a shorter period to fill any vacancies
on the Board. Under the Corporation's bylaws, a director may not serve as a director of
the Corporation beyond the annual meeting of shareholders following that director’s
70th birthday. In addition, if a director has a substantial change in principal employment,
he or she is expected to volunteer to resign from the Board.
Director Resignation Policy
11. Any incumbent Director nominated for reelection as a Director who is not reelected in
accordance with Article II, Section 2, clause (c)(ii) of the Corporation’s By-Laws shall
promptly tender his or her resignation following certification of the shareholder vote.
The Governance Committee shall consider the resignation offer and recommend to the
Board of Directors whether to accept it. The Board will act on the Governance
Committee’s recommendation within 90 days following certification of the shareholder
vote. Thereafter, the Board will promptly disclose its decision whether to accept the
Director’s resignation offer (and the reasons for rejecting the resignation offer, if
applicable) in a press release to be disseminated in the manner that Corporation press
releases typically are distributed. Any Director who tenders his or her resignation
pursuant to this provision shall not participate in the Governance Committee
recommendation or Board action regarding whether to accept the resignation offer.
However, if each member of the Governance Committee fails to receive a sufficient vote
for reelection, then the independent Directors who did receive a sufficient vote shall
appoint a committee amongst themselves to consider the resignation offers and
recommend to the Board whether to accept them. However, if the only Directors who
did receive a sufficient vote for reelection in the same election constitute three or fewer
Directors, all Directors may participate in the action regarding whether to accept or
reject the resignation offers.
Board Access to Management and Independent Advisors
12. The Corporation provides directors with regular access to management of the
Corporation. Directors have regular, ongoing contact with senior executives and other
members of management through Board retreats, visits to operating facilities,
management participation in Board meetings and through other venues.
13. Management keeps the Board informed about operations and the state of the
Corporation's business so that the Board can carry out its oversight functions. In that
context, the Board annually reviews the Corporation's strategic long-range plan and its
annual operating plan and budget.
Rev. Feb. 10, 2009 3
4. 14. Management designates appropriate senior staff members to serve as the primary
support and management contact for each standing Board committee.
15. The Board, and each Board committee, has full authority to consult and retain
independent counsel and other outside advisors and consultants as it deems necessary.
Director Compensation
16. The Board periodically, but at least once every three years, reviews and sets the
compensation for non-management directors based on the recommendation of the
Governance Committee. Director compensation includes both cash and stock-based
components, and is fully disclosed in the annual proxy statement. Factors considered by
the Committee in recommending the amount and form of director compensation include
(a) the level of compensation necessary to attract and retain qualified directors; (b)
retaining director independence; (c) providing incentives that encourage directors to act
with the interests of shareholders in mind; and (d) an ability to meet the expectation of
stock ownership. Directors who are employees of the Corporation do not receive
separate compensation for their service as a director.
Director Orientation, Training and Continuing Education
17. At the time they join the Board, new directors are provided with materials and receive
briefings by senior management about the Corporation and its operations, financial
profile, strategic plans, management organization, compliance programs and corporate
policies.
18. Management regularly furnishes directors with information to enable the Board to
perform its oversight functions, including relevant corporate, legal and regulatory
developments, and provides regular opportunities for Board members, individually or as
a group, to tour facilities, meet with both executive and non-executive employees, and
engage in other activities designed to make the Board more familiar with the
Corporation's operations.
19. Part of the effort to fully inform the Board about the Corporation's business is an annual
two-day retreat attended by the Board and senior management. The retreat is typically
held at one of the Corporation's major operating facilities, and includes an in-depth tour
and explanation of that facility's function. The annual retreat is held in connection with a
regularly scheduled Board meeting, and all directors are expected to attend.
20. As necessary and appropriate, the Corporation may conduct in-house director education
programs on relevant topics. In addition, at the request of individual directors, the Board
will consider making available outside training opportunities in areas relevant to the
directors’ duties.
Management Succession; Evaluation of the Chief Executive Officer
21. The responsibilities of the Compensation Committee include an annual review of the
performance of the chief executive officer. The Compensation Committee, in
consultation with the Board, approves goals and objectives for the chief executive
officer, evaluates his or her performance, and, either as a committee or together with the
other independent directors, as directed by the Board, sets his or her compensation level
Rev. Feb. 10, 2009 4
5. based on this evaluation. The results of the evaluation are discussed with the
independent directors in executive session and with the chief executive officer.
22. Among the most important functions of the Board of Directors is the selection of the
chief executive officer and planning for management succession to execute the strategic
plans approved by the Board. The Board will review succession plans for the
Corporation at least annually, including procedures for the selection of a chief executive
officer in the case of an emergency. As part of this process, the Governance Committee
periodically reviews potential candidates to succeed the chief executive officer and other
key senior management, including both internal and external candidates. The formal
succession review process includes identifying back-up individuals who could assume
key positions on an interim basis if an executive were to die or leave unexpectedly.
During this process, board members have ongoing contact with senior executives and
other members of management and may take into account their experiences with
management, as well as management’s opinions, with respect to individuals qualified to
succeed the chief executive officer and other executives.
Evaluation of the Board and Board Committees
23. The Board of Directors annually evaluates its performance of its oversight
responsibilities through a review conducted by the Governance Committee. In
conducting this review, the Committee solicits input from all members of the Board and,
as appropriate, from management. Each standing Board committee also conducts an
annual evaluation of its own performance.
Code of Ethics and Internal Reporting
24. The Corporation has adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to all officers, directors and
employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. The Code covers such matters as
conflicts of interest, insider trading, misuse of confidential information, compliance with
laws and protection and proper use of corporate assets. Directors are expected to fully
comply with the Code of Ethics and report any violations thereof, including any
potential conflicts of interest, as outlined in the Code.
Stock Ownership
25. In order to be eligible for re-nomination, a non-employee member of the Board of
Directors who has served for at least one year is expected to own shares of the
Corporation's stock. Within five years of election to the Board, a non-employee director
is expected to acquire and hold an amount of CSX common stock equal in value to five
times the amount of such non-employee director’s annual retainer.
Service on Other Boards
26. Directors are encouraged to limit the number of boards on which they serve to the extent
necessary to fulfill their duties to the Corporation. In addition, no member of the
Corporation’s Audit Committee may serve on the audit committees of more than three
public companies. Each director is expected to inform the Board in advance in writing
in the event that any such director is considering an offer to serve on the board of
another company.
Rev. Feb. 10, 2009 5
6. Confidentiality
27. Each director shall maintain the confidentiality of information provided to such director
by the Corporation (including information disclosed at Board and Committee meetings
and in other Board discussions) and any other confidential information about CSX
Corporation that comes to such director, from whatever source, in his or her capacity as
a director, and shall not disclose any such confidential information to any person or
entity (including members of the media) other than the directors and executive officers
of the Corporation, the independent accountants, legal counsel and financial and other
advisors retained by the Corporation and, except in each case, when disclosure is
authorized by the Board or required by law. No director shall use confidential
information for his or her personal benefit or to benefit persons or entities other than the
Corporation and its shareholders generally and except as authorized by the Board. For
purposes of these guidelines, “confidential information” includes all non-public
information relating to the Corporation, including information regarding Board
deliberations and discussions and the status thereof.
