How do audiences influence institutional decisionsryan93rgg
Audiences have the greatest influence over institutional decisions regarding films because they determine a film's financial success through their willingness to watch it in theaters or purchase other releases. Test screenings allow companies to gauge audience interest in a film and predict its box office performance before a wide release. Feedback from test screening audiences informs decisions about a film's distribution platforms and release strategy. For example, the film The Danish Girl was successfully screened at the Venice Film Festival in 2015, confirming it should have a theatrical release, as opposed to focusing solely on DVD, game, or app releases. Without test screenings to understand audience preferences, companies risk wasting resources on unpopular cinema releases or the wrong distribution platforms.

ARTICLE XI
GRIEVANCE PROCESS
GEPENC shall establish a grievance procedure that is set forth in its Standing Rules. This
procedure shall be consistent with any future rules and regulations established or preempted by
the City of Los Angeles for the citywide system of Neighborhood Councils. The grievance
process and procedures are not intended to resolve disagreement or disputes involving
legitimate decisions or actions of the GEPENC Board, but rather is intended to provide a
process by which community Stakeholders can express their concerns about decisions or
actions taken by the Board that do not comport with their own Bylaws, rules or regulations
and laws that apply to GEPENC. The grievances will be resolved by a panel or committee as
established by the Standing Rules and will become final when a written memorandum of
decision is sent to the grievant. This decision is final and unless, preempted by another City
mandated grievance procedure, is final.
ARTICLE XII
PARLIAMENTARY AUTHORITY
When GEPENC Standing Rules do not pertain, Robert's Rule of Order Revised shall be the
parliamentary guide. The Parliamentarian for GEPENC will advise the board on all matters
pertaining to its Standing Rules or Robert's Rules of Order and GEPENC meetings, or
otherwise. The Chair, or acting Chair, at all GEPENC meetings shall serve as the Board's
Parliamentarian when the Parliamentarian is absent.
The Board shall make the Standing Rules. The Standing Rules shall take precedence over any
other form of Robert's Rules of Order. The Standing Rules shall provide procedures for the
censure (formal reprimand) and removal of a Board Member. The manner in which standing
and ad hoc committees are created and members appointed or elected to the committees
shall be determined by the Board of Governors and published in the Standing Rules.
