According to the corporate governance guidelines on the official IBM website, the
board of directors ideally has between 10 and 14 members, though the certificate of
incorporation specifies no fewer than 9 or more than 25. The number varies
depending on the availability of suitable candidates and other circumstances. As of

responsible for annual self-evaluation and evaluation of the CEO.
The standing committees as of 2014 include the audit committee, the directors and
