The compensation committee reviews, discusses, has the ability to change recommendations, and then approves the submission, which in turn is brought to the full board by way of recommendation of the compensation committee. The full board then takes the recommendation, has further discussion if necessary, and then approves the recommendation from the compensation committee.
