bution should go first. HASA is the organization for all HR professionals and needs the efforts

contributions. HASA needs to set up mechanism to evaluate the future reward based on
the member’s contribution. In order to respect knowledge and protect the founding mem-
bers’ working products, the meeting believes it necessary to allocate the shares of the HASA
funds to the founding members according to the individual’s contributions, ownership of intel-
lectual property and copyrights. The founding member is entitled to the interests generated
from the operation of the HASA funds. The funds should have monitoring mechanism of audit-
ing and public scrutiny. All details should be institutionalized.
