OK, I might have slightly muddied the two points there in the way I worded
my point, but to clarify: in the UK (and, no doubt, some other
jurisdictions) it is not permissible to pay the board member of a
non-profit / charitable organisation for their being a board member,
whereas with a 'for profit' organisation this would be normal.
